The state of the world got a bit too much for me last week but I feel a lot better now.
Liz and I had a walk and a picnic arranged for Monday. We’d had it planned for a couple of weeks. Sunday was a gorgeous golden October day, but Monday dawned misty and dank. I went to ALDI early and when I’d finished shopping and got back in the car the windscreen was wet. As I was driving home with the wipers on I thought…maybe we could have a picnic in Liz’s lovely sitting room with the nice view instead of outside.
When I got home, Liz had texted
We think alike! 👌
Then as I was putting the shopping away, the sky brightened, so I rang her up, and we decided we’d do the walk we’d planned. If it was miserable we could always go back to her house.
But it wasn’t miserable. It was lovely.
We walked (for six miles!) in the woods above Chatsworth and ate our picnic in a clearing in front of a lake. The lack of sunshine didn’t matter. It was peaceful and heavenly and perfectly still. I felt blessed. Friendship and nature are treasures.
