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...

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...

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!

Posted on Thu, 08 Aug 2024
One of my grandsons would eat little except pasta for years, but he's better now, though still liking much pasta. I think just seeing other children eat other things gradually helped and maybe cooking for himself. It seemed a 'texture' phobia a...
