Coach and company
Christmas Eve, and the Coach & Horses was just starting to liven up. Only when I opened the door did I realise what day it was. Up until that point I had managed to avoid the dreaded pre-Christmas festivities. Opening the door let loose a wall of sound: excited conversation, laughter and yuletide merriment. To hell with all that! Realising my mistake, I was about to close the door again and turn away when someone bustled past me and nearly knocked me off my feet. I ended up in a fluster and was going to curse the offender when I heard a “Well look who it ain’t!” Glancing up, I caught Bob’s eye and could hardly leave now. He’d probably want me to buy him a pint.

Two's company
We drove up the snowy, winding road towards the cozy A-frame cabin. The weather forecast said there was more snow to come, but we had packed plenty of food and there was fuel enough for a whole winter of snow. We were looking forward to a long weekend away from the hustle and bustle of the city. A long weekend of eating, drinking and relaxing.

Looking up at art
Everyone sees paintings and other artworks differently, and we all have our own tastes and preferences, but this does not stop us from looking beyond the obvious aesthetic value of a picture in order to gain a better understanding of what the artist was trying to say. Getting more out of art can also help us feel healthier, happier and more motivated.
