Out and about







Its been quiet around this blog for a while- sorry.  We had a rather stressful time a few weeks ago and its taken its toll on any creative feelings I usually have.  But like everything that has passed and we enjoyed the bank holiday weekend with its extremes of weather and I even managed one or two passable pictures to show you where we have been! I swear it felt like November out at the Lochwinnoch nature reserve on Saturday.  It was officially too bloody cold for a picnic. The bottom photo is me and the wee one warming our hands on a coffee cup (obligatory flask of strong coffee for the adults).

Yesterday we visited Finlaystone - a beautiful country park, with some amazing Rhododendrons.  We danced inside them on a carpet of pink!

So onwards and upwards or in the words of Susan Lenzkes 'Rise higher, look up and live'!



{Have a wee read at some of my fiction here - I will post a few other excerpts in the coming weeks}.

  2. The pictures are lovely, but it does look chilly. I am entering a stressful period and can relate to the creativity drain. I appreciate the quote...'Rise higher, look up and live'!
