For most of this year so far I have been getting up earlier than I would have believed possible a few years ago. Up at six, let the dogs out and then walk up to the workshop. It takes about ten minutes at a speedy pace and at that time of day it is invigorating to say the least. The main reason I’m up there so early is to light the woodstove in an effort to warm the place up to a workable level and that takes a while. I give the place a quick clean up, sweep the floor and then follows one of my favourite moments of the day, that first cup of coffee. Silence all around, not many people up and about and still a whole day of potential in front of me! I savour those few minutes! It’s all downhill from there on as I head back home for breakfast with my wife and daughter,and back into the real world…before returning to a hopefully slightly warmer workshop !

数年前だと信じられませんでしたが、早起きするようになりました。6時に起きて、犬達を外に出し工房まで歩いていきます。早足での10分ほどの散歩は、体を目覚めさせてくれます。早起きの一番の理由は、工房のストーブに火を入れ、暖めておく為です。ストーブに火を入れ、掃除をした後は、1日で一番好きな時間、朝一番のコーヒーを飲みます。人々がまだそんなに起き出していない静かで、1日が始まろうとするこの時間を楽しみます。その後は、家に戻り家族と朝食をとり、工房が暖まっていることを願いながら、現実に戻っていきます。
