You have a lovely knack with rhythm and simplicity, Catherine. And I think the poem catches a sense of get on with the life you've been given, and don't get fussed by the rush and noise and so-called glamour all around that is jutst distracting!...

Beautirul tree tunnel. Nice

Posted on Wed, 17 Dec 2025

Beautirul tree tunnel. Nice to find it again, but it is always a problem you want people to see a lovely isolated place, but not to make it crowded. I suppose being used notably in a film or programme can have that effect, and the feeling that is...

Posted on Tue, 08 Jul 2025

Thank you. The photograph was taken about 9 months ago. I know it's not clear, but her legs are even thinner and more frail now, I think she had fragile bones even when young. So the warm invitation to sit on her lap, was very poignant. I think...

A lovely description of an early morning glimpse. And then the transition to the solidity of the cows, but also very special. Many town children haven't seen a cow. When you first meet them they do seem very big!...

Thought-provoking.

I know my husband found the idea difficult of losing privacy of mind when we got married. His family were very reticent, and mine were bubbly and open. But I think we had an ability to be open while yet maintaining...

Posted on Wed, 01 Jan 2025

Yes. It came to mind last night as the wind blew so strongly. I knew I'd heard the phrase when young, but couldn't remember the context. I've just been looking it up and it is from a poem by Minnie Louise Haskins’ on “the gate of the year”but...

A lovely scene, shorn sheep

A lovely scene, shorn sheep and swan family.

So graceful and maajestic as they glide along, like a royal barge expecting cheers from the bank!
