A morsel of the night

She loves the night. When everyone goes to bed, noises quietened, lights dimmed, when she is alone with her thoughts. Till there is light, her day is filled. When she isn’t sat at her work desk, she is pottering around, cooking this, soaking that, browsing, cleaning, people and pets. She loves her busy life but wants that last half hour to herself. That quiet when no one’s talking and she can hear herself think. The night is her ‘me’ time, a safe place to regroup and take on the next day. A little treat to end the night.
