Bumbling along in a country bus with rain streaked windows . Reading , dozing or lost in the green views .
Destination : a second hand book shop , an old fashioned restaurant that does roasts and homemade pies .
Maybe a butcher in a striped apron with sawdust on the floorboards .
Maybe a market full of seasonal treats - celery and wet walnuts this week .
Small pleasures to anticipate , relish and savour .
Yes, that sounds like my sort of wet weekend at the arse-end of Summer.
