There’s no one here to make me a cuppa so having a coffee out has become a regular treat . For most of the years before Colin died we didn’t do coffee and cake out, we preferred to save our money for other things. We even took a flask and lunch on all the trips to Addenbrookes hospital rather than getting something from the machines or café.
So that’s treat number one.
Treats two and three are edible and only bought at Christmas. Two is something for the month after Christmas. I don’t drink alcohol and no longer eat chocolate on it’s own but love these chocolate liquors. The price goes up the closer it gets to Christmas so I bought mine in October, and treat three is for a few cold grotty days in January when something warming, sweet and just a bit different is needed.
It’s also a treat to have the occasional takeaway meal,
to come home from the library with a big bagful of books to enjoy and
to settle down in a warm room of an evening to read them.
