Washed up

Tonight I give thanks for having beeng already snuggled up in bed in warm pajamas for almost an hour after a splendid but tiring day. For John and Jo bringing homemade spicy parsnip soup...for bright, clear and sunny weather to enjoy a trip to Dawlish Warren and a surprisingly good coffee at the Red Rock Cafe (which is a tiny lock up kiosk on the coast path tucked in between the railway and a big red rock funnily enough!). I give thanks for a cosy nap and then a trip out to our unique and lovely local firework display which is shared between the two communities each side of the river mouth. They have the bonfire on their beach and we have the fireworks on ours so there's less crowding and more fun and no traipsing about in the mud! It is a very picturesque spot anyway especially on a moonlit night with all the sparkles reflecting on the river and the sea and you get such an excellent view and such a laid back friendly atmosphere - I'm so grateful to be able to share it with my friends. I'm grateful for rides in the car and good things to eat and companionable chatter and for that delicious soup and hot buttered today and for John doing the washing up!
