a holiday

'In the radiance and the silence, she ran on the vast expanse of hard, smooth sand, beside herself with joy. Ah, when you only have a holiday once in a while, what a happiness it is! Each golden minute had to be held and perfected before it was let go.' Dorothy Whipple High Wages

journey

The bags are packed, the car is piled high and we're off to France for our summer holiday.
See you soon x

      Helen - Thank you. We're off to the Loire & the weather looks much much hotter than it usually is, off to pack now.

    I so feel the truth of that quote from Whipple - I hardly ever get vacation and I'm going to savor every moment of mine next month. I hope you savor yours, too!

    Did you like High Wages? I read it and loved it. I would have wished for a little more descriptive character details, such as what she wore, more visuals of her shop, etc. But I did enjoy it very very much!
