pink cherry blossoms on the path. sunlight through the trees. glittery light on the river. sheep in the fields. sunlit patches of grass. watching people play chess. loaded cafe counters. beautiful trees. photobooth pictures with a friend. getting sushi at our favourite place. sitting in the shade on a sunny day. closing my eyes and feeling the gentle breeze. a good sandwich. the soft grass in may. good coffee shop music.
mornings spent by the river. watching the boats, ducks, and people pass. sipping an iced vanilla matcha on the terrace of a cafe in the sun. walking the city walls. street musicians. lunch with a friend. seminars in the sun. strawberries and chocolate. working in a cafe with a friend. the evening sun. an ice cream boat. a gorgeous train journey through fields of flowers and by a river. a sunny morning drive in the hills. asian wedding food. sleepy evening drives.
a bustling food market in the sun. seeing ‘much ado about nothing’ at the globe theatre with a friend. a stunning mediterranean set and beautiful music. eating pizza by the water. seeing art exhibitions at the tate modern. painters and poets in the street. the sound of someone playing a harp. white chocolate matcha. the stillness of golden hour on a sunday as people settle in restaurants to eat and cafes shut. blue hour and a purple sunset on the train. the kindness of a stranger.
warm and sunny blue-skied days. sitting in the park with a friend. getting a lovely breakfast. seeing a new exhibition at the gallery. vintage shopping. sitting outside a japanese tea house in the sun. a random voicenote from a friend to say let me know they love me and were thinking of me. a cherry latte. a flower stall at the market. a cafe with an earthy, warm interior and an abundance of art and ceramics. a good pistachio croissant. being called darling.
long walks in the park. getting my deadlines done and the sun coming out. a delicious bento box and raspberry lemonade. pink flowers amidst all the green. the man making my drink at a restaurant checking i liked his masterpiece and smiling shyly. sitting on a bench reading under tall trees. good matcha and blueberry and lemon pancakes. visiting the bookstore and seeing a cute note in a book. watching a good movie at the cinema. sitting by the boats at the docks. taking things day by day and baring my heart open to life and love.
