Time flies

October 30, 2011

wow, cant believe its almost November, been awhile since I posted, life has just been full……………….Where does all the time go, it seems to be racing past at the moment, although I have gained an hour in my day today as the clocks changed today.

Have been away in a very tranquil setting in Suffolk, bliss is the word I would use describe it.  This proud fella woke me up every morning at 6.30am.  Why is it they rise and “cock a doodle do” everyday without fail?  You would think they might have a few off days?   His name is Neville by the way !

 

 

another day at the beach

December 27, 2010

Feel so drawn to the sea at the moment, and yesterday it was so calm down at Normans Bay.   Seeing the waves lap gently on to the pebbles, almost like the water is swaying,  rocking, so comforting…………….  Just the the four of us, Kirsty, Yao and myself and dear sweet Pasha.   She had a sore foot from the icy weather so Kirsty ended up carrying her back to car.    We watched the skies as the sun slowly began to set, the apricot ribbon like wisps of cloud reflected in the pond like surface of the water.  Another day drawing to a close as we raced home to jacket potatoes, lashings of butter, a tasty ham, cold roast beef and a big bowl of salad…. yummy especially as it was washed down with  with  a glass of mulled wine.  Another day closing, and getting close to another year closing, so much has happened to sharpen my focus, and feel the urge to start writing it all down…………

Breakfast guest

February 21, 2010

sunday morning…………  what a treat, not only bacon and eggs which I treat myself to now and again, but Pasha, who shared my weekend.  She is wonderful and has a calm serenity about her…….  She goes back to tonight, I will miss her. Although there is one little lady who will be pleased and that is Lilly my persian beauty.

A walk by the sea

February 21, 2010

Nothing nicer than a long walk by the sea.  Yesterday, a beautiful but chilly day provided the perfect conditions for just that.  Camber is the  place, a beautiful long sandy beach, it was glorious.  Especially sharing it with a dear friend and my daughters lovely dog Pasha……..

After had  a late lunch at THE GEORGE in Rye followed by a scone with with blackcurrant jam and lashings of cream

a day in the country

A cold and windy Saturday morning, a stuffy head to clear, nothing better than a walk in the park, Dunorlan Park to be exact, and feed the ducks and geese with my friend Seanpaul.  He can be seen feeding a greylag goose with the remains of mouldy Cranks wholemeal loaf!!  Wonderful bread !seanpaul-dunorlan-park
