We have been in 'lockdown' for so long now. Rightly or wrongly, the government has taken the decision to ease just a few of the restrictive measures, in preparation for the UK getting back to some sort of normal life, whatever the new normal will be. It is pretty obvious that day to day life... Continue Reading →
come on in, the water’s fine…
Well here we go. Another week on furlough leave. Another two weeks to go and then hopefully I can start work again. Of course, I'll be working from home for the foreseeable future once I do go back. I am actually missing my job, so restarting can't come soon enough for me. I had a... Continue Reading →
free as a dove…
One day I asked aloud, amidst the dark confusion I asked, "where could be found" the answer to our problems And then out of the dark, a voice was saying, "listen..." "listen to your heart...we are all wise within" ...and... Only you, only you can change the way you are And only you can find... Continue Reading →

Who doesn't know what I'm talking about Who's never left home, who's never struck out To find a dream and a life of their own A place in the clouds, a foundation of stone Many precede and many will follow A young girl's dreams no longer hollow It takes the shape of a place out... Continue Reading →

springtime blues… and reds, and yellows…
Spring is my very favourite of all the seasons. I love seeing new life, green shoots start to poke through, the leaves on the trees come back, the lovely colours of spring flowers like daffodils, tulips and many others. How could you not love that? It's like the whole word woke up. Unfortunately this Spring... Continue Reading →
how now, brown cow?
We have some weird and wonderful sayings in little old England. As I was sitting here taking this picture it reminded me of one my Nan used to say. How now, brown cow? She used it as a greeting, another way of saying Hello, how are you? It always made me smile and laugh when... Continue Reading →
and it was all yellow…
Yesterday was my first day working from home. Except I wasn't working much, I have no computer or desk here yet. I have my works mobile phone and a note book! Tomorrow the rest of my work equipment will be delivered, by a man, wearing gloves, who will leave the items at the door, and... Continue Reading →
rhapsody
The whole world is gripped in the sickness. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't just a little bit scared today. I have a few ongoing health conditions that put me in a high risk group. On Saturday, the small town I live in saw its first reported case of the corona virus. Yesterday,... Continue Reading →
