Sleeping Beauty
We love being in bed. We have a real struggle just to get up every morning, it’s so tempting to hide under the covers where it’s nice and warm. Lately we haven’t managed to get up in the mornings … it’s been way past lunch time by the time we venture from under the bed clothes. We have to arise in stages, gently easing ourselves into the day.
First we open our eyes but remain under the covers. Then we gently peer out over the covers, hoping that there will be at the very least a small ray of sunshine lighting up the bedroom. Lastly we have a good stretch before throwing off the covers and rushing into the bathroom, where we perform our daily ablutions.
Once we have begun the day in the most peaceful and gentle manor possible, we are happy to wander downstairs for the best cup of tea of the day. Why is it that the very first cup of tea of the day always seems to taste so much nicer than any of the ones that follow throughout the day?
Mmm, tea, time for a cup now, perfect.
