Easy Sunday Evening
It's been a cold day here with the barn still being a real pain to keep warm, I sometimes wish we had a hole in the centre of the roof so we could light a fire like those Saxon long houses, the fire burning in the centre of the room with us working around it, haha god I think we would get smoked out, but a nice thought.
I made a trip to the local car boot this morning but didn't find any treasures, tho it was very cold I was amazed at the amount of people there, we have lots of foreign workers living local, most of which work on the farmland of the fens, cutting greens, pulling leeks etc etc, so the car boot has the feel of some local rustic market in Europe, the sounds of foreign talk filling the air, a real strange feeling when the dark rich soil of the fens stretches out for miles around you.
After a day making beads and packing a large number of orders ready to post first thing tomorrow, it's an easy evening for us, god willing. I've started the dinner off and the fire is lit giving the cottage a nice warm feeling and the world is shut out in the cold. I enjoy Sunday evenings, after years of hating Sunday bath night ready for school next morning followed by over 20 years knowing Monday morning meant the start of another hard week working, it's now a real pleasure knowing that Sunday evening means I can relax, Monday mornings mean so much more now than hard work and long travel, they now mean I get back on my torch, the start of yet another happy week making beads, I sometimes think I'm the luckiest person in the world, yes I know I have to live on the edge and we do and yes I know I worry far more than is healthy for me when sales are low, but this I can live with, a small price to pay for doing a job I love and enjoy so much.
Ok off to get dinner then an evening planning our kitchen garden and checking what seeds we can sow tomorrow in the greenhouse.
