It’s been a little manic here the last few days. Saturday we took a 275 mile round trip taking daughter back to uni’ then on to Son’s with the remainder of his ‘stuff’. Finally got back home just before 10pm… so that was just 11hrs travelling then

with a few short stops, taking the kids shopping

It felt like we were going to have the car removed from us by surgery

So Sunday… we sat around for some time doing absolutely nothing

Neither of us wanted to see the car but we both needed to get out… & it was a lovely day, brilliant sunshine, fresh & crisp. So… a walk it was then (with

in tow of course). Took a path we’ve not taken for some years… the old railway line, it used to be just a dirt path but a lovely surprise to find they’ve actually made a proper path & steps up/down

Another round trip, taking in Asda along the way, just 3 ½ miles

we flaked on return but it was so nice! Hubby say’s I looked like I’d been on the sunbed with goggles… for too long

he didn’t look too different either

More time at last… I hope

so I aim to start making a dent in the numbers, present in my inbox

’ss to all you lovely people









































DESPONDENCY: A MOOD.
Often a word, a look, a jest,
Piercing the veil its depths concealing,
Awakens joy within my breast
I ne'er again had dreamed of feeling.
To hear the prattle of a child
Amid the summer daisies playing,
To gaze on Nature, stern and wild,
Or when her summer winds are straying;
To hear the tones of some loved air
Familiar in Life's morn of gladness,-
Small things, yet they dispel my care,-
Small things, yet how they heal my
sadness!
But, ah, their influence dies away,
Leaving life drear as when it found me,
Nay, yet more drear, for that one ray
Of sunshine it has shed around me.

MACKENZIE BELL.
1856/1930.
