While in Bali, we had to change our plans and ended up in Jimbaran for longer than intended. There was a lot of reading my book on the daybed while the others slept in or relaxed indoors, escaping the heat.
As humans do, my routine became quicky fixed and I'd collect the fallen frangipani and put them in a dish of water next to me, so the smell infused the air.
Morning tea of rambutans and spiced cashews or lychees became my mid morning treat.
Simple pleasures but somehow the luxury I miss most now I'm getting back into the swing of things.
While there were lots of gardens and green plants, this seems to be the only flower on the tree I saw (or at least took a photo of). I find that quite strange.
Often, the simplest of pleasures are the mosr rewarding.
ReplyDeleteWeirdly Amy, I can read your comment BOH but not here. Anyway, I just wanted to say that they are ten thousand times better fresh than from a can....and I'm going to a restaurant tonight purely because they make killer Lychee Martinis! Ha!
