The allotment gardener and his friend, a woman from the flats, are outside in the garden eating their lunch. Making the most of intermittent sunshine.
They are wrapped up in coats, scarves and hats.
I saw her come across the lawn with a basket covered with a white cloth, she went to the bench hidden behind a bush at the top of the lawn.
Then I saw him approach with two folding chairs which he set up a distance away facing the bench. He took a magasine from his basket and started turning pages.
Odd I thought, sitting so far away from each other!
When I looked next she had joined him. They had spread napkins over their knees and were eating their sandwiches.
Two old people, wrapped up against the wind, enjoying the garden in a rare ray of sunshine.
Bring on the summer!
Well hello there! My name is Vivienne McNeny.
I am an empty nester exploring life as a Boomer…you could say I'm happily Boomering along!
As a homeschooling Mum I have finally quit the job of role model and mentor to my four children. I do what I want to do, eat when I feel like it, enjoy life with my blue eyed cowboy and clean my house once a month or so whether it needs it or not!
In true English form I write about the emergence of my true identity now that I can no longer hide behind my children as their Mum.
