At last the rains have come… May the sun bring you new energy by day, May the moon softly restore you by night, May the rain wash away your worries, May the breeze blow new strength into your being, May you walk gently through the world and know it’s beauty All the days of your…
It’s a wet and windy night out there and it’s lovely! It’s a fairly westerly wind and for some reason it sounds lovely to me. We’ve had a few lovely days of sunshine and a few grand dry days, bright and grey but dry and it’s been really enjoyable to be able to go about…

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.
