My perfect world
In my perfect world, I'd have my own backyard garden where I'd grow all sorts of seasonal vegetables and fruits. Every morning, I'd carry a basket and pick out the day's fresh offerings to cook a meal with. I'd have carrots of all colours, red juicy tomatoes free of insecticide, and beetroot that actually grows in the ground.
In my perfect world, I'd own a vineyard and make wine in some obscure part of New Zealand. I'd hire a team of qualified winemakers to do most of the work while I help prune and trim the branches. I'd spend my days telling others about the raw beauty of nature; how every season of wine-making is different from the next; how the taste of wine is not about how much sugar or preservatives you add, but about how much sun, rainfall and frost there had been all year round.
In my perfect world, my children would grow up running in sprawling spaces. They'd learn their ABCs sitting on the grass with the mountains in the background. They'd enjoy the simple pleasures of riding a bicycle, chasing butterflies and picking wild flowers as gifts.
In my perfect world, I'd be skiing, fishing and mountain biking.
In my perfect world, I'd spend my waking moments writing a book while sipping coffee on a porch.
In my perfect world, I'd sleep under the stars with my blanket on and a loved one in hand.
What's your perfect world like?
