That must be the Brit in me! Marmalade is the one thing wherever we have lived in the world that when people say what can I bring we always say marmalade!!! We have a Malvern down the road from us in Melbourne, so I had to check you're not closer, otherwise I would have said 'do you want to come to my yoga class, my treat, you bring the marmalade!!'<br />Have a lovely zen week<br />Wren x Little Wandering Wrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12461692611319918593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2857495856051347728.post-62640399586927641782014-01-20T16:58:52.688+00:002014-01-20T16:58:52.688+00:00I agree, I'm never happier than when I'm b...I agree, I'm never happier than when I'm baking, knitting, gardening, cooking. I've found tha much more as I''ve got older (I'm 42, this luckily feels quite young to me!) It's not that I would advocate being thick, I just think these activities are close to nature, physical, quite nurturing etc. I find I don't want to read or analyse stuff as much lately. But perhaps this will change! I think also, be cause you have to really concentrate on one thing in particular when ur for example knitting, my brain does get a bit of a much needed empty! I suppose humans weren't made to be inside all the time, on computers, doing brain brain brain work all the time. I think these activities are our connection back to our true selves, if that doesn't sound to hippie navel-gazey! However, we have to also be pragmatic abd spend at least some time doing head stuff. But at least when we can control what we do, in our free time, if we can do more of these lovely physical things, then I think it makes it easier to cope with the head stuff! Sorry to waffle!
