Sabbatical

A new month and my sabbatical is over.   Somewhere in the world it is spring.   Somewhere in the world it is autumn.   I have no seasons anymore

For the love of swans

For the love of swans Swans mate for life. They do not take another swan if they loose a mate- but even single swans have to eat ;-)

England's Italy

England's Italy Fantastic B&B in the Yorkshire Dales- run by the family! The feeling of love is truly present in every nook and cranny and blown in the fresh air, to be transported down the river Wharfe!

Traveling feet

Travelling feet Let's go explore? Where would you go? How far are you prepared to go? What will you take, who would you leave?

Bread, wine and friendship

Image
Pane e vino (Bread and wine ) The cycle re-union! The pure joy of friendship reunited. The owner of the little place called Pane e Vino in Pisa welcomed his friends who made a special journey to come and see their good friend. The sounds of joy were beautiful to witness. Made more special was the symbol on the wall- no war and the olive branch hanging from the tree- peace, love and friendship shared with the simple taste of bread and wine. Joy shred in a heartbeat :-)

I know I am nuts. I just cannot decide if I am a walnut, pecan nut, peanut, macadamia nut, pistachio nut or an almond :-) Mia Kruger

Life journeys

“I cannot rest from travel: I will drink Life to the lees: all times I have enjoyed Greatly, have suffered greatly, both with those That loved me, and alone.” ― Alfred Tennyson

Clarity

I love flighting. Above the clouds everything is clear- day time blue skies, nighttime shining starts.

Cellophane heart

Privacy is like a mannequin in a window display: you can look in and out but you can never touch. Only a select few is allowed to re-arrange the display :-)

Let it be

Shopping trolleys

A Single blokes basket contains alcohol and very little food, single girls buy lots of salad, married men buy alcohol, but less than bachelors, married women always have a bottle! Get the picture- single women are sober without men, but men always drink ;-)

The beauty in a broken heart

www.janewrightphotography.com Wednesdays, J and I have a day out- we do lunch and talk. Life seems so busy that we seldom have quality time together at home. He is growing up so fast and I love the precious time we have together. Today, I met Jane Wright Photographer. The work you see on her website does her gentle soul no justice! This poem she wrote gives a glipms of who she is, but her eyes are the windows to her soul. The understanding of complete and utter loneliness, dispare and yet seeking to be found. Get down to 5 Drury Lane, Lincoln before 22Jult 12. You will not regret it!

Open heart surgery

Open heart surgery Open Heart Surgery 3 years ago I had open heart surgery. I did not know there was anything wrong with my heart. I did not have high cholesterol or stress. As a matter of fact, I was rather happy, content and generally enjoying life. One afternoon a heart surgeon walked into my office and told me to look after my heart. I asked: Why is there a problem? The surgeon very quietly and calming replied: I am just saying look after your heart. My usual self would have gone into a panic, rushing to find a second opinion change my lifestyle, but somehow, I trusted this surgeon. He has visited my office a few times and was always quiet and collected. Impressive demeanour. The following year I looked after my heart and kept track of my activities and lifestyle and diet. In April 2009, I had a full blown heart attack. I spent the whole summer being tired, out of breathe, down and weak. I went on holidays, relaxed more, ate better, drank less but there was no change.

Red Shoes

Red shoes Red shoes Dorothy o Dorothy with the red shoes. Somehow Toto I don't think we are in Kansas anymore! Lost! One of the greatest movies of our time was but a failure when it was first showed. A great example of not sucseeding the first time round. As time went by, it became one of the most iconic movies of all time. What I love about the movie, is the journey it reperesents. A journey of personal growth, a journey of confronting fear, a journey of friendship, a journey of love, a journey of self respect, a journey of acceptance and a journey of stereotyping and even a journey of betrayal. The innocent Dorothy but trust all she meets to have good intensions and be pure and untainted like herself. Boy,O, Boy. Nothing has changed since 1938 then. Throughout her whole journey, she does what she does best- she is JUST DOROTHY. She cares, she loves, she encourages and she respects without even realising she is doing it. It is so pure and so beautiful and so lacking in our...
