Saturday job
I had an array of Saturday jobs from an early age and whilst waiting for the early bus to work I often used to feel I was missing out on those teenage activities such as lying in bed or talking on the phone.
As I folded t-shirts under horrid florescent lights I would fret about not being able sit around chatting with my friends - smoking cheap cigarettes and drinking endless cups of coffee in dingy cafes.
But I did like the money in my pocket, the money to spend on new pairs of lacy tights and jingle jangle bangles, the money that paid for my Saturday nights out.
I found myself working today, the prevalence of germs in this house of late have put me way behind schedule with my craft fair preparations. So I sat in the garden, the sunshine was warm upon my shoulders, the scents of fresh mown grass and early blossom in my lungs, I had tea & a little snack to my elbow and I sewed. As I worked the birds sang for me and I did not resent working on a Saturday for even a second.

I've been working outside too - it's been a lovely day.

I too worked on Saturdays when my mates were hanging out - nothing nicer than spending 'my own money'.
Lovely images, as always.
I love your teacup and lovely spotted teapot.
It has been a beautiful, beautiful day.
