Hello Lovelies, I'm sorry I have been absent from this space for so long. Life is quite busy in the evening these days, that's when I would normally read blogs and write a post of my own.
You see my lovely Mum in Law has been in hospital since October and I visit every evening unless I'm at work (Hubby goes every day). Thankfully things are finally looking up for her (phew) but I know there will be tricky times ahead and lots more support will be needed.
At times like these I find it pretty essential to focus on the small things that make me smile. Winter here has been pretty kind really. I've had what I need most....the chance to get outside, or stay quietly at home. Here are some of the things that have brightened my days......
Sunshine on cheery flowers. This years Amaryllis was the best ever.
A few hours to wander as far as my legs will allow, noticing the birds and the misty views
Then sunshine and paddling in the shallow stream.
Signs of spring outside the florists shop.
Feeding feathered friends.
Sunshine on a freezing group walk day.
Always birds.
Chaffinch singing sweetly
Female Blackbird eating crab apples
First flowers.
And new visitors to Jacquie's bird cafe :0)
Dawn walks with a willing Teen, because dawn is at a reasonable hour :0)
And finally, cute baby Deer.
