A Valentine Day-Trip

D took the day off today, saying it would be nice just to lounge around the house... 'I still have some work things to do', I said. So I dutifully checked my emails and packed my orders... Then I thought, 'I wonder if anyone would miss me... It is after all just one day.' And so off to the beach we went (just got back).

We had a wonderful day at Bude, just over the Cornish border. Yeah, it was a bit cold from the wind and the sky was full of cloud... But you know, sometimes it's just nice to cut loose for a day!

On the way back we saw lots of the newborn lambs had been put out in the fields. This is very exciting, as for some Farmers it's not too far off of shearing time... And for me that means lots of lovely new fleece! Bliss!!

Wishing you all a happy Valentines Day.
