Sitting down to breakfast

We were up early this morning as Mrs M was off to Exeter to meet daughter No3 and do a little shopping.  The patio window behind me was casting a shadow through the rain splashed window just lighting some books and papers on the small table and a few recent photographs which were put there to see if I liked them. On the wall is a photograph of our three girls, taken a few years ago for me to match one I took of them when they were very young. The clock is not working before someone points it out !
