    For a minute, I thought you were going to say that it was your place! Nearly fell off my chair!

    Nuts in May

    Same here. My first thought was that is where you had moved to! Hope you are all right.

    It's a lovely home, very stately.

    On a different note, I've always been drawn to a saying attributed to Julian of Norwich: All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well.
    It's served me in many a tough spot.

    Looks like a lovely place to eat your sandwiches in summer. I've got a quad full of kids to sit in!

    Hey Saz - was I dreaming or has something been removed?

    I feel scatterbrained just thinking about it now wondering if I did dream it one night while I was thinking of you.

    xxoo

    A beautiful photo of a fantastic place!!! I will be thinking of this when you say you are taking a break at work...Do I see a Red Bubble shot here? Hope so... Perhaps even a future watercolor? Love you! Janine XO

    Now that's a lovely view to have where you work! Plus, if you aren't the gardner, it's a thing to be enjoyed, rather than worked at, which is a boon to life.

    It must be lovely to see the seasons march through it, too. Just a gentle, pleasing way to see time march past, bringing its cycles back over and over. Rather fitting for a place with a sundial.

    Thanks for sharing that picture, and I too, thought "Good lord, is that where she lives!" and then swiftly, "That must be hell to weed!" because I'm an overly practical sort at times ;-)

    With a garden like that, I'd run to work everyday! LOL! Man, I'd be there on the weekends! I can just feel the sun, warm on my face enjoyng the surroundings!

Thanks for stopping by!

Take the weight of your feet, draw up a chair and pour yourself a cuppa. Leave your troubles at the door and together we shall ride out the storms.

Loneliness...

is next to god awfulness. l enjoyed my London trip on so many levels. Though particularly because I had time to suit myself, time away from pressure of work, time away from the kids, all types of timetables. Time away from decision making, which I abhor with a passion! Sometimes, though thankfully not often when l am alone. Sitting in a coffee shop. Or in line in the bank or supermarket. Waiting in the car in line for the car park. Usually alone waiting. I get the heebee jeebee's. In plain speak a panic or anxiety attack. It comes in the form of a butterfly fluttering in my chest, a screaming in my head. Silent screaming. But I feel the noise. White noise. That drives darkness through the day like a knife through butter. It lasts but a few moments, but a dry fear stays a while. Remaining hidden amongst the layers of feelings and experiences we call life. Whilst walking alone through the streets of London, it lurked. Unacknowledged. Invisible. Whilst feeling the beat of the city...

On my way to work - Monochrome Monday

Monochrome Monday hosted by Aileni As it is very frosty and cold I am driving to work, shameful, yes, as its only 1.75 miles uphill down hill in nose to tail traffic. I park in the nearest car park, courtesy of the City Council, a perk of the job. Thank you very much. And this is what l see on my short walk from car park to work! silhouette of castle gate looking back over my shoulder where l have walked from the very ineffectual Millennium Bridge this is the entrance to the underpass, which takes us under the dual carriageway that separates the Castle from the city, the Museum and Cathedral this is the underpass decorated with old local industrial machinery and the Cursing Stone produced for the Millennium and inscribed with a centuries old curse it receives the wrath of locals as it is considered the cause of all our recent ills, Foot & mouth and the Floods the marble floor containing prominent local and Reiver's name the Whispering Wall, solid glass brick, come alive with...
