It Arrived
It arrived, right on cue. Here, and here, and here, and here, and here, wonderful.
Faith
The euryops is euryoping very nicely at the moment, reflecting the mood of the moment. It has been the most glorious day. All that gentle sun and soft breezes and incessant bird song stuff. I am beginning to believe it might actually happen. How could I ever have lost faith?
Shyness
The piglets seem to have gotten over their shyness.
Wonder
Today I am going to reflect on the wonder of this world. On the beauty, the resilience, the joy of this planet. On the good hearts, the kindness, the strength of our fellows.

Three Trugs and a Poem

As I was practising my arpeggios with Nancy Nightingale earlier today, a thought suddenly crossed my mind. “Nance” I said “It has just occurred to me that we have a lot in common, we both make our living from doing something we love.” “Yes” she agreed “Consider the fools that don’t!” And we laughed in a sinister manner,Continue reading “Sinister”
Very Small Mercies
It was just as well that there were piglets and tree surgeons at the Farm today. There was little else in its favour. Wet, muddy, cold, miserable. And I’ve got a stinky cold and a leak in one of my boots. This has made me even wetter, muddier, colder and more miserable than usual. A gorgon.Continue reading “Very Small Mercies”
