Sunday is easily my favourite day of the week.

It was not always so.
    Saturday was the obvious favourite as a child with morning cartoons and playing all day with friends. No obligations whatsoever just a day for fun.
    Back then Sunday however had obligations aplenty. It was the day we went to church. I didn't hate going to church but it made the day feel more serious. There were important things to be done before fun could be had. You know? I no longer go to church or have those beliefs but somehow Sunday has become an important day. A good day. As some of you know unless the weather is rubbish I often go for a bike ride on my own...

I love it because I do a little exercise but mostly because I take pictures and enjoy the surroundings. It's almost like meditation...

I'm reminded of lyrics from that Faithless song 'This is my church, this is where I heal my hurts...' I often think that even those of us unable to believe in God still need a place to reflect and find peace. This is where I get mine. Taking the time to breath in the fresh air and notice the little things we normally miss when busy...

A reminder that no matter what life is good. Sometimes you have to set up the good, which is where Pancake Sunday started...

Hubby makes the best American style thick pancakes. These ones were filled with banana and were soooo good. I say hubby makes them but he always has helpers...

I say use the word helping loosly as it usually consists of lots of this...

We set the table and pour the all important tea...

And within what seems like minutes our table looks like this...

And it was good. Then the rest of the day is for play, see friends, do a blog post, take some more photos whatever you fancy. I think there is an unspoken rule about no housework which is a little like a day of rest.
