I have been neglecting blogging for a while now and have spent a bit of time tonight browsing though the wonderful web world and found this lovely post, check it out…
Unfortunately the photos from this old post have been lost We are getting used to this new way of living, going to town one day a week, working outside when the sun is shining then coming in to work on our computers and read beside the stove in the late afternoon. Looking through the food…
I have been working really hard to practise some detachment. They say that practise makes perfect – I have yet to find out! I am trying to separate people from their actions. When I see a child misbehave I find it easy to to know that I don’t see a bad child, I see a…

Thank you for participating in Blog Gems!
Thanks for popping over here Jean and glad to have been able to bring some of natures simple pleasure to you on a rough day.
Yes, the photos here on the blog are all my own and mostly taken with my mobile phone as that happens to be in my pocket more often than my camera and I am delighted with it’s ability to take such close up shots. I am delighted that you enjoy them 🙂
As for the Blog Gems – thank you for taking it on and giving Jen a well deserved break.
