Networking?

Concentration
I don’t quite know what it is about dark Autumn and winter evenings that inspires me to knit or crochet. It happens each year without fail. Despite this my knitting skills have not really improved very much. I tend to knit simple things like scarves that require no pattern and I don’t have to worry…
The weather has been beautiful here over the last week or so. Last weekend I was out with my camera and took a few shots which I will share with you. I don’t seem to have had the time to write any posts although funnily enough I have written a few in my head whilst…
Today’s beautiful find in the woods…

Are you interested in seeing the International Space Station as it flies overhead? I have been lucky enough to see it twice recently. Just last week I was camping at a beach on the west coast of Ireland and happened, by chance, to see the space station pass overhead. I was really amazed at how…

I put this post up on Blog Gems for Jen this week – it’s not a laugh out loud post however if you’ve been looking at hospital walls for weeks on end then it may make you smile 🙂

Sorry I did not remember you are in Ireland (from my response to your comment at my place). Your online name is familiar in a friendly way. Hope you are able to see more thistle in real life soon.
Made me smile! I had a very rough day and you reminded me about the simple beauty of nature. I need to just chill out and think about the bigger picture rather than being in a funk. Did you take these pictures? They are fantastic!
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.
