♥Beautiful Life Is Just Simple♥

Yesterday was a beautiful day. I, Wendy and Frances went to pay a visit to Peggy who lives in the St. Nicolas Hospital retirement housing for old people. She lives on the first floor. A very bright place with four sided windows in the whole apartment. The picturesque view is fantastic. We had a very enjoyable lunch: egg noodles with seafood, some delicious chewy fish balls from Singapore and crunchy bean sprouts. I brought the Korean style pancake cooked at home. It is actually garlic chive fried with egg and potato starch serving with a sesame vinegar fish sauce. Ingredients of the pancake and sauce is optional in accord with your personal favourite and availability. After lunch we had Chinese green tea with strawberries and cherries bought by Wendy and Frances in Tesco. After long chats, we went down to Peggy's garden for her veggie and flowers.  There are so much to see and Peggy gave us some garlic chive and a kind of veggie for us to bring home as food and planting in our own gardens. As we were tired digging out the root, we rested and chatted a bit in her garden. Later Peggy took us to her old garden on the other side where she planted a fig tree years ago. We saw some figs hanging on the tree. How lovely!! The big garden around the hospital is beautiful and peaceful. I took many pictures. We then went back to Peggy's apartment and had tea again. As we talked, Peggy said there is a cherry tree down there with sour cherries and people use them to make a wine. She let us taste some. It is awesome like the Japanese plum wine. We chatted and chatted. Time flies, when I arrived home, it was already 7:30pm. It was such a wonderful day. What a beautiful life can be from simple living!
