1. We've been away for a night, and it was wonderful to enjoy all sorts of funny little luxuries that we don't get at home -- a soft, heavy quilt on the bed; and padding around on carpeted floors; and noseying in other people's bookshelves. And a breakfast cooked for us and served in a lushly planted conservatory stocked with all the different teas and cereals and sauces you could want.*
2. On a train, to snuggle up against Nick and doze a little as the train carries us through the Medway Towns.
3. My parents arrive just at the end of lunch with our sleepy boy. When they have gone, Nick and I take him and hurry upstairs for a cuddle and some bub. We all end up asleep.
* We very much enjoyed our stay at Gladstone House and would recommend it to anyone visiting Faversham.
Haircut, revision and changing sky.
