Spring is in the air
I woke up this morning with the most delicious feeling of contentment and happiness.
I stretched out in my big double bed thankful that I didn't have to share it, leaned back against the pillows and enjoyed a full cafetiere of coffee all to myself and a few quiet hours reading. With Valentine's Day coming up it is easy to moan about being single, and I have done. But I was reminded today of the luxuries of being single.
A long uninterrupted lie in is one, freedom to plan my own time is another. The weekend stretched shiny and clear ahead of me. With no commitments this weekend I decided to take time out for me.
Feeling rested and refreshed, I ventured out and headed down to Duddingston Village. Out in the warm sunshine with a blue sky above me, it felt like a spring day.
I loved walking through the tiny village admiring the picture book cottages and houses. As I walked I let myself daydream about the people who lived there, what they were like, what they did for a living and if they felt happy every morning waking up in their beautiful surroundings.
I also pictured myself living there, the window in my study looking onto the garden, (big enough for my future children to play in.), friends coming round and the house sounding of chatter and laughter.
By the time I came home, my head was full of these dreams and I felt recharged just from being out in nature.
In my last post I shared that I had begun online dating. The first date went really well and The Gentleman and I had a further two dates. On our third date we did some pottery painting at The Ceramic Experience in Leith. We had quite a giggle! I was delighted that you could paint animals and chose an elephant. Nellie is blue and purple with big girlie eyelashes. She turned out really well.
That was our last date and although I was disappointed as I really did like him, we've stayed friends. Even though things didn't go according to plan, my first online date was still a success and I look forward to many more...
