My mum always

Put a vase with some flowers or leaves beside my bed when I went to stay with her - even in winter she found something in the garden.  I started to do this whenever my dil comes to stay ( though not when son comes by himself). Now R my dil does it when I stay there. But rarely has a little vase beside the bed been as spectacular as a bunch of peonies.  I’ve never seen peonies as cut flowers before, I was delighted. 
Son and I went for a lovely long walk along the coast path to Bovisands. And had a snacky lunch at the Cliff Edge café - which isn’t too close:-) As we walked,  we had a good talk about his life, mine, plans, what’s important.  The sort of conversation I very rarely have with him. And we saw/heard lots of birds, including swallows really close which was lovely. I’ve put a little view in the extra, we could have been in the south of France:-))
Train home in the evening, all ok.
