The perfect Sunday....

What's your idea of a perfect Sunday...?  I guess everybodys  idea of  a perfect Sunday is somewhat different. I also expect in reality our ideas of perfect Sundays rarely happen!!

Living and breathing life on a farm certainly puts a stop to having lazy Sunday mornings reading the papers in bed. Infact being parents to 19 month old twins does as well!! I feel as though i have already done a day and should getting ready for bed and it's only quarter past ten in the morning!

However the one thing i do insist on every Sunday no matter how much work there is to be done is that everyone stops for  a roast dinner and sits together to eat!! It is amazing how we let the monotonous patterns of everyday life take over us and just accept it as the norm. We may not have the time for lazing about with cups of coffee, a round of golf or indulging ourselves with a sauna or steam room after a heavy session in the gym but instead settle for a satisfying lunch round our choatic farmhouse kitchen table. Eating the amazing Rare breed joint of Pork we have bred, cared for and produced ourselves is a treat & privilidge in itself.

My idea of the perfect Sunday may begin with a lazy morning reading in bed with freshly made croissants & hot chocolate followed by a gentle walk with the family taking in the amazing views from our farm and then somebody else cooking a delicious lunch and doing all the clearing away whilst i lie back infront of a roaring fire and watch an old romantic film. But in reality having the family altogether for lunch eating our very own meat and vegetables & home-made pud is almost perfect & really i wouldnt want to be anywhere else, or have things any other way!!!
