Blowing, freshening, blustery gusts bracing, racing, whisking, frisking, decluttering clinging, clogging cobwebs – cast out fast by whooshing blast...

I don't know why I missed

Posted on Fri, 15 Oct 2021

I don't know why I missed this before my op, Di.

1) the whole realm of...

Posted on Wed, 20 Oct 2021

what a mess! So sad. And again, though we can find out so much, we can't go back and interview them, and even if we could we couldn't see into all the hearts and past, as only God can. I hope the children found some good carers, not just...

Well, quite a different side

Posted on Wed, 13 Oct 2021

Well, quite a different side to Florence Nightingale, and clearly her way of relaxing! They seem to be able to discuss and share opinions for consideration. How old is Florence at this time? Rhiannon

Posted on Mon, 11 Oct 2021

I liked the photo, Jenny. Is it yours? The light gleaming on the moss adds to the loveliness of those moss-enveloped secret and undisturbed places. It reminded me of walks in such places with soft swathers of beautirul mosses, and those old...

You have so much maple over

Posted on Fri, 08 Oct 2021

You have so much maple over there I think! Also I think you are a bit ahead of us in the autumn coldness and colouring. We do have a little bush called Stag's Horn in the garden that is in beautiful colours of red, orange and yellow, jut outside...

I sometimes wonder if those

Posted on Thu, 07 Oct 2021

Glimpses we have of people

Posted on Wed, 06 Oct 2021

'Ships passing in the night'

Posted on Tue, 05 Oct 2021

'Ships passing in the night' … I read this before, and like Jean, was taken with the description of the setting, but thought to have another look when some had commented!

How little we do see through the windows of the eyes in those...
