Immersed in barley!
Sometimes a crop the farmer sows, then clears a line where the footpath goes across his field. Sometimes he leaves the crop to grow and thinks the walkers all will go across and trample down that bit, and so others the footpath’s track will know …

Undisentanglable!

Posted on Sat, 03 Oct 2020
It's a hard step to return, isn't it? Go on praying. And the Lord knows all that he is thinking at the present time, and all his confusion. When my youngest was young he had Asperghers, and we often both got exasperated and frustrated. Nowadays...

So sorry for your sad
Posted on Thu, 06 Aug 2020
So sorry for your sad memories, Jenny. I'm sure your mother would have been devastated in her sadness if she'd been able to realise the long-term anguish it would cause you. But I think you have many happy memories of her before that overtook her...

Posted on Fri, 01 May 2020
My reaction was 'Poor Penelope'. A bit like realising the unhappiness and friendlessness of most bullies. I remember realising from what my primary school son was saying that the children were egging this bully in their midst on, and I knew...

Posted on Tue, 31 Mar 2020
It's so easy to get in a whirl of busyness that you don't notice the beauties around, nor take time for the lonely who can't be so busy, or are trying to help others. I had always wondered why the beech hedges kept their dead leaves in winter too...

I haven't been out to look
Posted on Sun, 22 Mar 2020
I haven't been out to look this year, but at others, found so many of the 'Mother's Day cards' in the shops seemed to be artificial, and not realisitic for many of the ups and downs of family life.
My mother is no longer alive, and in...

Posted on Wed, 12 Feb 2020
Your writing is always very concentrated, and bubbling, I think, with metaphors, of which I'm probably not catching all! But I read this as hoarding a hope inside that you protect from attack, but aren't too sure you could really explain??...

It sounds a lovely haunt to revisit anyway, weather good or bad ( though beware of cliffs when the weather is bad!)
I remember in Snowdonia my youngest son (who had Asperghers) running on some rocks with glee and his slightly older brother...

Posted on Sun, 03 Nov 2019
I was interested to read your last couple of lines that seem to indicate how easily one can hide away inside oneself to loss for others and oneself.
When researching family history often there is a just a skeleton list of names and places...

Posted on Sat, 07 Sep 2019
You really made me realise why all my family have loved cycling. I missed the boat somewhere when growing up and never got there until on a tandem briefly. The pleasure and refreshment of fresh air at a slight speed really comes across here –...
