February nest
waits for a migrants return
family frenzy
Come away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o
Small tassles of joy
catkins or pussy willow
my childhood delight
My lovely friends I won’t be around much for the next week, so I’ll see you when I get back. I’ll try to catch up with my visits then, but please forgive me if I don’t. I hope I don’t miss your best ever posts.

A bright wintry path
leading who knows where, to spring?
pause and be mindful

a trace of azure
wrapped in a skeleton tree
just biding its time
Merry Christmas everyone! I’m hoping for some sunshine today, like in this photo from Christmas 2012. I hope you all have a good time and thank you for your lovely comments, support, kindness and inspiration yet again this year.
Later on, after a delicious Christmas lunch I’m off for a walk beside the sea – a tradition to blow away the cobwebs, maybe at Exmouth, maybe Sidmouth! Catch you soon xx
Fresh, bright and breezy
As blue as Christmas can be
Exmouth beside the sea

The last of sunlight
fading into golden dusk
such mellow splendour
