Windows to England

One day while having afternoon tea, we decided that this really was the “good life.” “We could live here,” one of us declared. “Chat with friends in the morning. Work a little and then head off for scones and afternoon tea.” Reality, however, always has a way of catching up, and we began to wonder how we would do simple things like pay all the bills that were sure to stack up as a result of our riotous living! (smile)

We also wondered how we would stave off the weight gain that was sure to come as a result of over indulgence.

So, we packed up our misguided dreams and walked down the lane to a store that had both fruit and flowers. There the offerings appeared good for the soul and much better for the “bodies.”
