You broke it Don, you fix it.

‘Our wee sloping track became a sledging-slope of unconfined joy. The ponies — guests on the croft — caught the contagion and cavorted.’

Thank you for the lovely picture of Dram Annie. The first time I read ‘Windswept’ I thought that you were walking with a dram, like in a hip flask. To keep warm. Silly me.

Night night sweet dreamies

Nothing is so strong as gentleness, nothing so gentle as real strength.
Have patience with all things,
But, first of all with yourself

The lesson of the lost oak: why one Suffolk man’s mission matters Suffolk tree-lover David Hopkins talks about the work of adding to the Woodland Trust's 'Ancient Tree Inventory'

You cannot pour from an empty pot. Please make sure you take time to rest and recharge. Self care is not selfish, it is vital. We cannot give fully to others if we are lacking in ourselves. Be kind to all things but start with You. 😊

James Canton tells his story to Jenny Rhodes.

Beautiful writing Annie, thank you.

A black and white Jack Russell terrier running at full tilt across the beach towards the camera. Her mouth is open and her eyes have twinkle as if she is smiling. All four feet are off the ground.

Morning All !

It's Saturday and time for the #BlueSkyArtShow on the theme of #Joy
