In addition to our weekly date nights, the Photographer and I also plan in a date weekend once a month. It is a weekend that no other people or plans are booked into so that we can spend time just with each other and truly relax. These weekends can be planned in advance or we can see what we feel like at the time.
This past weekend ended up being wholly productive. We pottered into town at a very leisurely pace, enjoying the beautiful sunshine on a very mild winter's day. We bought various things we needed around the house and a few things that we simply wanted.
We went for a swim, we watched the snooker Masters, we chatted, we lounged, we pottered, we ate and we baked.
It will come as no surprise that this particular Photography household consists of two chocoholics so we took to the kitchen to try out some gluten-free chocolate treats. Both of our experiments turned out beautifully and I'm not ashamed to say that they are both already almost entirely demolished by the two of us.
I feel like I've actually had the opportunity to spend some quality time with the Photographer this weekend. I feel like I've actually seen him and it's done me wonders.
Saturdays are definitely made for pottering. And when you're pottering with your other half it becomes even more soul-reviving.
Much love,
xx

Mmm-mmm, the cake and torte look utterly delicious.
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to just putter around with your spouse on the weekend when your time together is sparse during the week.
Yummy! I love these kinds of weekends. Glad you're doing well.
