Hi Friends.
Happy Saturday, everyone! Sarah and I decided to take a little stroll into Epsom town today before the weather decided to throw a complete tantrum! With heavy rain and strong winds starting as I write this, we’re rather pleased we got out in time. We pulled on our raincoats, put our hoods up, and headed into town while it was still safe to enjoy a little fresh air. There’s something lovely about a simple walk together, even when the British weather is doing its best to keep everyone indoors!
While Sarah wandered around the market looking at flowers, I stopped to take a photograph of Epsom’s clock tower. Of course, Sarah told me to stand still and wait while she had a good look around. So there I was, behaving myself like a good dog! 😂 Apparently, standing still or sitting down is the best way to ensure I’m not causing any mischief. I’m not admitting to anything, mind you! 🤣 Let’s just say Sarah knows me rather well by now.
And here’s Sarah’s lovely new winter heather! She spotted it at the market and decided it was coming home with us, ready to brighten up the flower box by our front door. Isn’t it pretty? It’s just the sort of little touch that makes a house feel welcoming, and Sarah wanted you all to see her latest purchase. Our home, which we’ve affectionately nicknamed Tranquility Lane, is looking a little brighter already!
We’re safely back home now, just in time as the wind gets stronger and the rain lashes against the windows! I reckon we timed our little adventure perfectly. It’s often the simplest things that make the best memories: a walk together, a few laughs, a photograph, and Sarah finding something pretty to brighten up our home. These are the everyday blessings I treasure most, sharing life’s little adventures with the woman I love (even when she has to tell me to stand still and behave myself!). Wishing you all a lovely, cosy Saturday evening. Stay safe, keep warm, and don’t forget to count your blessings.
P.S. The British Invasion Continues! The Blindman Strikes Again! 🎸
While Sarah and I enjoyed our Saturday stroll in Epsom, my music was playing across the pond! Jess the Demon Hunter (Snack Attack Mode) was my very first musical creation, written for my niece Jess’s birthday, so I’m genuinely amazed it’s being played at all, let alone picking up 3 plays in Orlando, Florida, this week, bringing its US total to 84 plays! 😂
Watch out, America! The Blindman Invasion is underway! 🤣
I heard from other UK bloggers I follow all about the storms that hit. I’m glad you made it out and home again before the worst of it. My friend in Cornwall had her power out for 3 days. Love the heather and good for you for staying out of mischief!
Thanks, Ellen! The storm was particularly bad in the South West of England, and hearing about your friend being without power for three days really brings home how disruptive it was for some people. We’re in the South East, and although it was very windy here, thankfully we didn’t get the full force of the storm. We were certainly glad to get home before the worst of the weather arrived!
I’m glad you like Sarah’s heather, too. She’s always on the lookout for something to brighten up Tranquility Lane. As for staying out of mischief, well, I’m not sure I can promise anything there! Sarah does a pretty good job of keeping me in line, though!
Thanks for your lovely comment, Ellen. Take care and God bless you! 😀
Bring on the invasion to America! You, your music and Sarah are welcome over here!
Ah, Sue…Thank you for your lovely, welcoming words. Sarah and I would love to come over and bring a little British sunshine (maily rain, lol), laughter, and music with us! It means so much to have such kind and encouraging friends across the pond. God bless you, and thank you for always being so wonderfully supportive. Sending lots of love from Sarah and me here in England. 😀 🎸☀️
