Retro Vibes

Today I had the rare pleasure this afternoon of getting to sit on the couch with a cup of tea and read my latest book. It was so relaxing and just what I needed. It was at a time when I am normally racing around getting chores done and organising food for dinner so it felt very different due to the time of day.

I found myself looking out at the afternoon light on the trees and marvelling at the range of autumn colours and how retro they looked - just like the images on the biscuit tins from back in the 60's and 70's. 

I was able to see our garden anew having the time to stop and look from a spot on the couch that is not somewhere I often get to sit in unless it is after dark. The light was perfect and the trees looked stunning in all of their autumnal glory. It won't be long until that scene changes again to a more wintry one.

When did you last take the time to stop and really look at the things you see every day? When you stop and marvel at the familiar and recognise their beauty? Try it and see how it goes...
