The Three Beautiful Things podcast is up -- with some bonus springtime items.
I've been getting some really lovely comments lately -- I very much enjoyed yesterday's crop, particularly Daisy May's own list of beautiful things, and Louisa's description of spring round her way. Never underestimate the power of a kind word about 3BT to make my day!

2. It's so good to see people strolling around -- we are coming out now the weather is warmer. One man in a sky blue jumper looks a bit dazed, as if he'd forgotten over winter how much world there was. I see him pause at the top of the road and examine the pole of a traffic sign.
3. To cut through the crisp skin of a baked potato -- the hot insides are soft and creamy and savoury.
Every day I want to record three things that have given me pleasure. This 3BT site is the original Three Beautiful Things.
