My Idea of Fun

Sitting by the fire eating roasted chestnuts and watching the flames lick the coal. Sipping hot chocolate and watching the snowflakes fall silently to the ground. Sitting under a warm blanket reading a nice book or a letter from a loved one. Or even better drinking a hot drink while listening to the little children's laughter as they play board games. Sitting underneath the willow watching the world go past, the river running by in a rush. Barbeque parties with loving friends and family. Summer holiday with the family or long days at Cropthorne. Candles burning on a summer night, the flame barely moving. Children playing football, or tennis or badminton, having fun. Laying back in the middle of a field while the sun goes down noting God's beauty. Taking dog for a long walk and playing fetch games with them. Taking walks with a friend down a path covered with autumn leaves. There colours reflecting the colours of the fire. Walking down moonlit streets as the stars twinkle above. Taking the dog for a walk and watching as he runs straight through the piles of leaves collecting under trees and laughing as they fly up and then come back down hiding the god underneath. Seeing the flowers bloom and blossom tree's petals falling like snow. Seeing the baby birds and swans. Seeing the gardens flourish and bloom. Seeing God's beauty show itself again once the winter seasons have gone. That is my idea of fun.
