my memories and i...

Yesterday I wandered.  Along the beach...remembering so many wonderful times with my mother; my father and brother too. Sitting with the sand on my feet...feathered friends all around me.  Pretty things too.  And then a little giggle.  'No swimming' ...like you my dear mum, it's way too cold for me - spoilt by the South China Sea and the African coast!

The sea air and happy memories...so good for the soul.

missing you...

I don't believe that grief passes away.
It has its time and place forever.
More time is added to it; it becomes a story within a story.
But grief and griever alike endure.

{Wendell Berry}

Ten years ago today, my world changed for ever.  I miss you everyday my mummy xx

spring!

cool crisp mornings...days filled with glorious sunshine and the most sublime blue skies...evenings still worthy of being cosy.

  Oh spring...I do so adore you!

(forgive me, I'm still sorting through my 'English memories'...I will share soon though!)

farm air

Isn't this the loveliest of views?  Most of my time away, all those days ago, were spent here...clean, fresh, farm air.  There is nothing better for the soul...and I'm craving it once more.

I'll share some more of this wonderful place soon...its history and quirkiness...its charm.

I spent almost two whole weeks in the English countryside...oh how I love it so.
