My Perfect Day

Contemplative stitching.
It is Sunday and everything is moist and soft in the drizzle and rain of the past few days. I wake early and sit in the stillness to stitch. Simple stitching is restful, contemplative. Later, I’m keen to walk in the woods because I know that this is perfect weather for mushrooms. Veryan and I ramble with the dog in the humid forest and forage for chanterelles, bolets, hedgehogs and, even a few black trumpets. My basket is full. In the evening I head to the blueberry patch and fill the basket again with plump blueberries. The grand babies will love them.

My collecting basket is full of wild mushrooms.

Valerie, What a wonder to have met you who are living the life I have only dreamt of. Thank you Judith. Again. And thank you for blogging. We share a deep love of fabrics. To my mind, your life itself has been woven magnificently. Enjoy Africa and I can only hope you will do it one more April so I could join you.
How lovely to hear from you! I do hope we can meet again and share notes on our mutual love of cloth. Please let’s get in touch when you come back to NS.
