Today’s topic was prompted by this photo of the 4 legged children over the weekend. As you can see, they are looking pretty sorry for themselves, despite having just been fed and walked. The weather over the weekend was grey and damp, but today is completely different with spring sunshine and a warmth we haven’tContinue reading “February 22nd – Depression”

Jan 7th – When the path isn’t clear
Today’s photo is from a very foggy dog walk this morning. It got me thinking about today’s post, and the similarities between this weather and the uncertainties facing us all during our lives. Just like a foggy day, many people sometimes struggle to see where they are going in their lives, especially during the CovidContinue reading “Jan 7th – When the path isn’t clear”
Jan 6th – Lockdown day …
Well, I should have been playing golf today, but alas, like the rest of the country, it’s an indoor day. So what to do??? Well, there’s an old saying that ‘variety is the spice of life’ and so I cooked a bit of breakfast after walking the woofers, cleaned up and noticed lots of birdsContinue reading “Jan 6th – Lockdown day …”
Jan 1st, 2021!! -Time to reflect
Happy New Year everyone. Today’s picture is of Alfie, taking time out from his hectic schedule of walking. eating, playing and sleeping, to reflect back on the past year. Alfie reports that 2020 wasn’t so bad for him. He got to travel around Europe in January, February and part of March. When he got homeContinue reading “Jan 1st, 2021!! -Time to reflect”
December 25th – Happy Christmas!
Today’s picture is of the sunsetting on a very different Christmas day. Christmas for me is a time for giving and sharing, difficult this year with the covid restrictions in place, but I’m a firm believer that in order to appreciate good things we need to have a little time when things don’t go toContinue reading “December 25th – Happy Christmas!”
November 26th – Fog
I took today’s picture on the woofer walk this morning. There was a definite nip in the air, but it was dry and still, so pleasant. The fog was still sitting in the valley, obscuring the normal landscape, but it will lift. When you’re having a foggy day, can’t see the horizon in your life,Continue reading “November 26th – Fog”
November 15th – Winter walk
We ventured out for a woofer walk this afternoon, and were lucky to avoid the heavy storms that have been hitting the UK over this weekend. The ground was a tad soggy, but the dogs didn’t seem to mind, and it was good to be out in the fresh air. It has been mentioned manyContinue reading “November 15th – Winter walk”
November 7th – Colour
Today’s picture comes from our back garden. The colours in the acer and Euonymus Europaeus Spindle Tree are fabulous at the moment and it certainly brightens our day. Hopefully it will brighten your day also. Nature is a great reminder that our world hasn’t completely changed. We may be going through a stormy period atContinue reading “November 7th – Colour”
October 30th – Another first
Don’t ask why, because I really don’t know the answer, but I thought I would like to try a bit of painting….. I really like the couple of Steven Brown prints we have recently acquired, and so it made sense to have an initial go with a colouring book. My friends at Amazon brought meContinue reading “October 30th – Another first”
October 24th – Thai soup….
Well, it was a pretty grim day weather wise, and so we sorted out a few cupboards and old books. Should we ditch (take to a charity shop) a pasta recipe book? As normal, I decided to hang on to it and also tried out a soup recipe in it. The result was surprisingly goodContinue reading “October 24th – Thai soup….”
