March 2011

At last February is over. On the one hand I don’t like to wish the days away but I really struggle with the beginning of the year. March to me says spring, even though it is raining yet again. The crocus and the daffodils are brightening up the verges as I drive around the area for work. I have seen so many tiny blue Iris this year and this morning I saw a cherry in full blossom. I was in a traffic queue so couldn’t take a photo for you.
Bright yellow forsythia and emerging buds on my philadelphus are real harbingers of spring for me. I am noticing so many catkins on my journeys, are there more of them this year or am I more observant?
It won’t be many weeks until the clocks alter and then I feel as though I have “made it through the winter”

Week 7

A week that included Valentine’s day, my birthday and a hospital stay! There were flowers, cake, cards and wonderful presents. Lotta came in from Glasgow on Thursday night which was my birthday, but as I had spent that day in hospital I had my birthday on Friday. Kath called in the morning, Susie came for lunch and Karen came for tea. Ben had the day off and Paul came home from his week away in London. A strange but happy week.

I have had so many problems with my computer! Things are still not right but at last I am able to do a few bits of catching up.
Here are two weeks worth of my 365 project. Where have 6 weeks of the New Year gone?
It is a wonderful day here today, blue skies, birds singing and people looking cheerful. On our walk this morning I saw so many beautiful snow drops and catkins. The bullfinch and blue tits were busy collecting nesting material, the robins were in full song protecting their patch and the magpies were leaving everyone else alone, busy collecting branches bigger than themselves!
It is a good day, I am emerging from a very grey few weeks. x

End of January

I am late posting this, I had some problems uploading the pictures.
30th January 2011
A soft pink early morning sky brought with it the most beautiful sunshine today, warmer temperatures and just a few wispy clouds in an otherwise clear blue sky; of course it finished with a glorious sunset…perfect.

I am so glad it’s the end of January.

I watched a DVD someone gave me tonight. It’s called Lost for Words. It was an itv 3 film by Deric Longden staring Pete Postlethwaite and Dame Thora Hird. I loved it, it made me laugh and it made me cry.
“Do you want to be buried mum or shall we have you cremated?”
“Oh, I don’t know love, surprise me!”
Brilliant!…
