Seeking solace

There is nothing like a good half hour in the garden, late afternoon as the sun is setting, to work off the frustrations of the day.  A new scone recipe that wasted ingredients and produced scones that made me unpleasantly aware of calories not worth ingesting, and a rather devastating round of necessary errands put a damper on this day that not even a good hot cup of tea put right.  But some good aerobic exercise, cleaning up the debris from the roses, made an encouraging end to the day.
