Fresh green beans

Saturday morning ritual –
The vege market.
Special time with my husband
Alone together
Buying fresh fruit and vegetables to feed our family for the coming week.

A hive of activity
Buzzing
Vibrant community.
A sensory overload:
Colours
Sounds
Smells.
Energising.

Favourite growers –
We head there first.

Mountains of green beans today.
Glistening in the sunlight
Freshly picked
Vitality.
Beautiful.
Long, slender and tempting.
Brilliant green colour.
Beckoning me.
I plunge my hand in
Grabbing handful after handful.
Stop.
Enough.

Grateful and blessed.

Manifesto
20. Every day say thank you.
30. Every day use all your senses. Touch. Smell. Taste. Hear. See.
14. Every day the ordinary can be the extraordinary.
