Sat here on the tram now, sat in a group of people all on their phones!! Oh my god what a society we live in now!! Is it better? Like this? Surely not?? Especially as I have ear pods in, toe tapping and lip syncing, silently!
Although I probably look like someone you wouldn't want to sit next to!! Especially now as I am giggling to myself as well as I write this!
It is another absolutely beautiful day ... Wall to wall sunshine... Blue skies... spring springing all around... Stunning...
Now, yesterday! Matlock Bath, just south of Matlock.. also known, thanks to Lord Byron as Little Switzerland.. the River Derwent passing through... It was like being at the seaside yesterday! Loads of bikes, how we arrived; loads of fish and chip restaurants, coffee shops and people!! It was Mother's Day here in England.. and everyone was out on the roads or treating moms to a special day..
Was a wonderful ride out, bar the slipping off the seat part!! Not completely, just sliding forwards and backwards!!
And ending up in a local bar for a.. coffee! Of course!
And today those muscles I didn't think about while trying to hold on, are telling me they were well used!! It feels like I spent a few hours at the gym!
Now, in town finishing my Blog, drinking coffee and eating mint tiffin in Waterstones..
Came into Waterstones for the love of the smell of books! It is beautiful!
Okay, so bibliosmia is the word for the smell of books, but says more for old books because of the breakdown of ink, paper and chemicals ... And vellichor.. also means the smell of books! For the same reason!
I do love the smell of old books but new ones... Well, open up a new book and just breathe... Beautiful..
