A post of beautiful things I have seen recently…
A Field of Gold
With Friends
A Path through a Bluebell Forest
The Bluebell Carpet Lit by Sunlight
A Tall Tree Against the Horizon
A Lantern Lighting Leaves From Within
In Delight,

Some days it seems like the world is really alive. Beauty is illuminated, and friendship recalled.
The window is veiled, we cannot see into the world outside, and yet it is inexplicably present, revealed in a moment of light and shadow and colour. The sunshine-yellow Daffodils bask in the light of the lamp, reminding me of friendships forged in this place that is home. Below, almost unnoticed, a wooden bowl that was once my Mother’s has travelled with me since I left home, now contains treasured pebbles from a nearby beach, an empty crab shell, and a Dotee doll, each reminding me of delight, death and the beauty of community.
Hiding at the base of the lamp, a small bendable creature grins, an impulsive gift from dear friends, reminding me to smile.

Welcome to my blog!
I hope you find something to inspire or enjoy. 🙂
This will be growing, and over the next few days I intend to post about One World, One Heart, and include my giveaway, so please check back if you’d like to join in with a chance to win something (I haven’t decided what I’m making yet! Really must get to it…)
I have a couple of other blogs if you’re interested (see the box to the right of this post that says ‘My Other Places’.)
Enjoy!
Today we have snow!!! This is a rare and precious thing for Britain. Unfortunately we’re not quite able to cope with it! Ah well, I’m enjoying it muchly and have some pictures which I’ll be uploading shortly for your delectation.
I also took the plunge and, after 7 years of insisting I can’t keep pot plants alive, I bought some potted flowers, a red rose bush, and a yellow rose bush (both less than a foot tall) so now I really feel like the dreams I’ve had the past couple of nights (where I’ve insisted to other dream characters that I have a rose garden) are coming true! And this makes me very happy.
ROSES! And SNOW! Yay!
*is easily amused* 🙂
