another magpie

 while the rain

cascades cold and salt

we wait

there

a light

the smallest blink

a candle gutter

 tells us you are near

our journey

over centuries to this place

concludes.

my first effort for Magpie Tales, this picture just inspires

the prince and the pea....

..what pea?




The Lodger, always a devotee of a comfy chair takes advantage of hastily thrown cushions
while changing the bed linen....
when asked politely to 'get off' he sighed heavily and refused.

its a dogs life.....

recommendation for the soul

For a few years I have been following this blog

I wanted to share his writing with you

surely it is true talent to touch another soul with your writing?

mothers love

 A few weeks ago it was birthday time here.....84 years....supper out in her favourite restaurant..just us girls!!

..what can you say....a woman who all her life has given total unconditional love to her children...

Her eyes are failing so my brother sent her a kindle so she can read books in larger than large print which she loves.....

At this age she is realising that it is her who has to make the decisions because the one she loves and has been married to for 35 years can't do it any more...

She has stepped up to the plate and has rediscovered that she is a feisty lady who takes no nonsense from anyone...makes the phone calls..keeps the diary...sorts it out.

She is the figurehead of the family.

I come from a long line of strong women...

I have a lot to live up to.....
