Day 280 - Prosecco picnic

Viennese Whirls...
mmmmm.

Last day to just chill in the cottage -- it was really too hot to do much else. We started the day by grabbing a couple of lattes and then some breakfast bake goods at a small shop called The Independent Baker. If you've been following the blog, you know that we have been trying to support local shops whenever possible, so even the name of this place is perfect. It was started by a young woman in her early 20s who one day just decided to go for what she was passionate about ... baking. Self taught and self motivated ... how fabulous.

We took our breakfast and sat on a bench next to the canal and just absorbed our surroundings.

The rest of the day we spent writing in the relative cool of the cottage. When dinnertime approached we put together a small picnic of food still remaining in the cottage cupboards and fridge, and with an added chilled bottle of prosecco, we made our way to the beach. The haze from the heat was making a view of France an impossibility, but it was a gorgeous evening.

We drank a toast (or two) to about our extraordinary year and the wonderful things that still lie ahead ... and just soaked in every moment together.
