Last Week

Hello Lovelies,

is it really six whole days since my last post? 

I seem to have been busy, and struggling with the lack of light.

These first photos are from last Sunday. Just a little solo, local walk. I couldn't resist heading out with my camera.

The light was glorious and I really got the feeling that our spot on this wonderful planet is not turning it's back to the sun any more. But very gradually we are coming to the part of our journey through the solar system where we are beginning to bathe in those warming rays once more.......... 

The shadows are still long............

But theres a new warmth and longer days. The flowers know it............

and so do the trees and shrubs..............

 It's a good job I did take advantage of the blues skies on Sunday. They have been in exceedingly short supply ever since.
I've still been out walking, clocking up those miles, but it's not quiet as inspiring under a leaden sky.

Still, I shouldn't complain. There are tiny pops of colour if you look closely..........

 Pink Blossom....always a joy.

And Catkins , a sure sign of spring............

Even where there are no flowers there is some colour. I kind of liked the muted shades in this abandoned winter garden of an empty house. I think it's the sence of anticipation..........

And everywhere the birds are singing..........


I made a very short video of the little brown Dunnock's sweet song, you can here it HERE


It's so short because a bus was approaching,  and I didn't want to record that noise :0)

Yesterday youngest and I popped to the library and I found myself picking up lots of Travel books. Such a grey week is certainly enough to make me long for spring and summer........

But life is good. I have a holiday from work this coming week. The boys are on half term holidays. We have no firm plans, and I'm looking forward to taking each day as it comes.

 I am hoping to have some pictures and stories to share with you lovelies.
Back soon.
