It was a little naughty, unplanned also, but it happened and it was quite splendid.
This morning we slept in despite the plan being an early start for the day, some chores around the house before a walk in the gardens nearby and a bite of lunch surrounded by the lovely sights and smells of nature all around. Admittedly the sleep in wasn't outrageously long but by mid-morning we were only just finishing off the housework when we'd in fact planned to be out in the gardens walking by then.
Sometimes plans just don't go to plan despite our best intentions...the sleep in was worth it though.
It was a lovely day although quite cool in the shade. The sun shone brightly though and, more importantly, warmly as we wandered aimless through the gardens accompanied by light conversation which stopped sporadically because sometimes words are not needed.
Two hours later - no we didn't walk for that long, there were periods of sitting watching the world go by, or laying on the grass soaking in the warmth - we decided it was time for lunch and before long a vegetarian frittata was bought for me, and a ham and salad baguette for my man along with two coffees and a big bottle of water. We were all set for our picnic and found the perfect spot within a little grove of trees that allowed the sun to filter through just enough to touch my skin with a war caress; there, we ate, listened to the birds all around and breathed deeply of the clean fresh air that was in such abundance.
Sundays are lovely days for us as we are almost always together and very rarely are we under any real pressure to do much at all. We reserve the day for us, relaxation and rest and have a rule that we do not discuss things that could lead us into complicated conversations - A break from such things is needed.
It's important to reserve time for moments like this, to prioritise one's own wellbeing and that of our partners and relationship in general; waking up and taking time to smell the flowers, I mean to put an emphasis on one's own feelings and emotions in a bid to nurture them, is an important part of life, mine anyway. Today was all about that and it delivered exactly as intended.
Those moments are the ones that make us recharge our energy and it is so important to have them and enjoy them. Nature helps a lot and it is important for a couple's relationship to have those beautiful moments of union.
This song was very relaxing for me. Thank you Becca.❤️
It's a lovely piece of music that I find reaches inside me and makes feel something special, it's similar to how nature makes me feel, but differently.

The positive vibrations of music resonate with the heart, that's how it works.❤️
A Sunday with flowers, scent, nap... Casual and surely loving and spicy words. A marvel. 😍👀
Now I'm going to listen to the music you were listening to, but then I'll go to sleep.
Hug!, Becca.
It was a nice day, one we both really needed. Looking back now it seems so long ago, the working week takes hold quite quickly I guess, but at least I can think back and recall how nice it was.
I hope you liked the music.

It sounds like it was a lovely day. So nice that you take the time to focus on the lighter, nicer things and each other.
We somehow manage to get so caught up in the day to day complications of living life that it's easy to forget that moments like these, simple things, can be so rewarding and nurturing.
Becca 🌷
Doing something like this regularly is very nice. Not only can it help you guys unwind, spending time together helps make your relationship stronger. Long time couples sometimes take each other from granted after a long time of being together, and slowly grow apart.
We have always done these things, simple moments that we can enjoy often, and they have certainly helped us build and maintain a healthy, loving and respectful relationship.
Becca 🌷
How nice that you have a day to enjoy with your partner in a quiet way, I am very struck by the fact that you have rules not to talk about specific topics, thanks for sharing your post.
I believe it is important to furnish one's life with good things, wholesome moments that help uplift and nurture; that's what this day was all about.
