morning time . . .













the sun pops over the horizon. the pink light stretches over the inlet water. the rooster crows. the kids wake. there's a shuffle, thump and patter of feet. doors open and close. their dad makes them breakfast. they are morning people. i am not. i roll over and pull the covers up to my chin. i doze. if i'm lucky, a cup of hot tea is deposited by my bedside. eventually they make their way into my bed. a morning cuddle. a gentle start to the day. it's the ultimate gift for this weary body.

  2. Lovely photos. I'm not a morning person but there is something about being up early with a hot cup of tea and watching the sun make its appearance xo

  3. Mornings are hard for me, at 28 weeks pregnant, I'm still throwing up every morning. My dear husband makes me a simple breakfast and a hot tea. Only then can I face the day!

  5. These are absolutely beautiful. I love the sunrise, the tea in the morning, breakfast, and the sweet greetings of a plant in the morning. This made my day/evening. xo

  9. Gorgeous photos Rachel. Your mornings sound exactly the same as mine except I have coffee instead of tea which is often found cold on my bedside table as I usually doze off again :-) I found the morning ritual worked really well when Flynn arrived too as I could just feed him in bed for that first feed of the day while Daniel did the usual breakfast thing with the other kids and everyone just carried on as normal without wondering where I was. Take care.....Mel xxxxx
