'Coffee Break'- A moment in my day


 

One of my favourite times of the morning is my coffee break, usually around 11am to add a burst of inspiration and energy after the morning farm jobs. As we’re well into calving season, sleep is very much lacking in our household, and every hour of the day and night is a potential drop everything and run to calving shed moment! My coffee break is just one tiny portion of the day to allow myself to take a deep breath, and cherish a little quiet time, along with a dash of daydreaming.

Today as the rain and wind pelted the windows, and washed away any ounce of the coming spring, I made a cup of hot coffee and watched from the comfort of the farmhouse. I always like to add just a drizzle of maple syrup to my coffee to balance out the bitterness of the beans, and treat myself to a piece of Bournville for dipping. I love the process of coffee making; a peaceful daily ritual to look forward to and ponder over new ideas and new directions. How do you enjoy yours?
