... take some time to sit back and relax for a few minutes during the busy time to come!

As much as a few minutes to sit down and relax?? You're joking mate! Looks jolly good though and well done you.

Looking at your pic again, it is a place that not only reflects all your hard work but also a peaceful haven where you can enjoy the fruits of your labour and rightly so. I just get such a nice feeling from it.

with all that's going on in the garden or on the allotments one must find time for a senior moment relax and let the world go by we always find time to have a cup of coffee in mid morning and then a cuppa tea in the afternoon same at the allotments we always stop for sit down break sometimes take a packed lunch  a picnic down the allotments one could say what a way to spend a day

I bet they've never tasted as good either!

[Yorkie]

Oh yes, eaten in the open air with a wooden fork and knife 

[Goosegirl]

Must be wrapped in a newspaper as well. Why does food taste sooo good when eaten outside?

I'm old enough to remember when fish and chips were wrapped in yesterday's newspapers.  If  you were treated by a 'gentleman' to supper and  he got you fish and chips, you were won over.   To get to go somewhere for a 'steak meal' meant they were really serious.

I was once treat to a meal and, just before we left, he presented me with the receipt!

When Worzel was just a small turnip he used to collect newspapers from the neighbours and sell then to the chip shop for a bag of chips. 

Not considered hygienic nowadays but I don’t think anyone caught dire diseases from the chippy.

Funnily enough, when I was doing a DoE first aid course back in my school days, they maintained that a newspaper was always considered a pretty good substitute for dressings, if there was nothing else available!

But of course, one of those little 6d bags of vinegary chips wrapped in a few pages of The Daily Sketch, was a treat worth dribbling about, especially as everyone else on the bus started dribbling too..;0)

Half a century ago when Mrs HGB and I were courting, I took her into the local chippy and she was bitterly disappointed to be told they'd sold out of fish cakes as it was apparenty her goldfish's birthday.

Hamsters!

Great to see your name in lights again, I hope all is well these days!

I see your senservumer hasn't diminished at all..;0)

Just to add to your post, don't forget to listen to the birds singing as they can make your heart do the same on the gloomiest of days.
