My my days have a new rhythm.
For most of the last 20 years my days have been topped and tailed by Scotrail as I travelled to and from work in Glasgow from my home in Stirling.
Now I have moved into a typical Charentaise house in France, and you’ll see from this photo that one of the main features of the house are the wooden shutters on every window.
So now my day begins with a trip round the house to open all the shutters and welcome in the light. And as the sun sets each evening my day is marked by the “closing of the shutters”.
There is something immensely satisfying about this new rhythm, marking each day with the opening and the closing of the shutters.
Beautiful house! I love the color of the shutters.
And we’re all here in Glasgow! Missing you at Congress. Margaret x
How delightful. You look happy and peaceful. La belle vie…………
The house looks lovely and you are looking well its good to see retirement is treating you well im missing our chats so much but im very happy you have now settled in france and taking it easy it looks so peaceful xxx
I’ve been topped, tailed, diced and roasted by Scotrail many a time! Enjoy Bob, it looks wonderful 🙂
Hi Bob , congratulations on the move and the transition into the new rhythms , looking forward to seeing some light and colour in our ‘dreich’ period !
Have a wee tree in garden Bob, all silent just before sun going down. Lit a few candles with weans and hung them on branches. Still Quiet. Opened a packet of those bird balls of food from pound shop and it ended up sounding like the invasion of the body snatchers.
