Sunday Afternoons at the Old Table: A Cozy Bedtime Story for Adults

Описание: Tuck in, get cosy, and let this gentle bedtime story carry you back to a quieter time. ✨ Sunday Afternoons at the Old Table is a slow, nostalgic journey into the soft middle hours of childhood — where light fell gently through kitchen windows, bread cooled on the counter, and nothing felt rushed.
In tonight’s story, we revisit unhurried Sunday afternoons centered around an old wooden table — a place of warmth, family, simple meals, quiet conversation, and deep comfort. It’s a familiar, peaceful escape designed to help you relax, unwind, and drift naturally into sleep.
