'emotions sparkle in this little birds eyes', I recognise that Jenny. Those little robins really do sparkle with intelligence and are so active, seemingly all year round. Ivy provides a great cover for insects and spiders whcih in turn feed our...

Interesting the relationship

Posted on Wed, 08 Mar 2023

Interesting the relationship women have with their breasts. I've never really understood why we have them, after all, they don't need to be big to feed a baby. Good luck with your surgery, wishing you all the best for a smooth recovery.

Roses and bees are very apt

Posted on Wed, 08 Mar 2023

Roses and bees are very apt for International Women's Day. This is very beautiful, Jenny. Through a window there is so much to see and some sights are unchanging whether you are old or young. Once thing is for sure, there is always housework.

Thank you for reading and commenting, Di. I've had a similar thing with my mum, she gave me a watch chain and I said I was considering using the gold to turn into something I would wear, a plain ring, and she was aghast. Maybe I'll take it to...

Posted on Tue, 07 Mar 2023

All family treasures with much meaning, Rhiannon and prompts for so many memories and stories. That was an interesting dive into your cupboard. I'd forgotten all about those little wooden fruits with a moving beetle inside.

Posted on Wed, 01 Mar 2023

I found this story, gripping, thoroughly absorbing and gut-wrenching. There is so much magic in a garden, especially after dark. I love the analogy of the terrarium and the drama of sudden bereavement tempered by the domesticity of turnips.

Thanks for taking us on this journey Rhiannon. I can just imagine the bright shiny sky and fresh air. I drank from Evandine spring last time I was there, the tasted so pure, despite being 'unsuitable for drinking'. Such a beautiful place. I love...

Loved reading about their relationship with each other and the give and take between them. Cats generally seem to live great lives, doing what they want at the top of whatever food chain it is that they inhabit. Little Grayson sounds so sweet. I'...

Hi Di, thanks for reading and commenting. It's funny about the ancestral genes isn't it, kind of the genetic lottery. Swanning around in long skinnies, oh to be young again (but without all the associated anxiety).

Posted on Sun, 12 Feb 2023

Very true words Rhiannon, eloquently written with the rhythm of the heart. A sentiment which we need to remind ourselves of, perhaps now more than ever.
