Thursday is the day I volunteer in a local school, helping children with their reading. I walk to and from the school and today I chose to walk home the long way round.

Back home I tried on a new dress I had ordered for my upcoming holiday in Cornwall, then chilled and read a book until it was time for ‘fine dining’ on the patio. The smoked salmon and horseradish fishcakes were delicious.

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils
