She was asking about my writing here and about the walks and honestly it was the kick in the bum I needed to get out of bed this morning and go wandering. Well. I didn’t really get out of bed and go for a walk right away. I lay in bed listening to BBC Radio 4’s Marian Keyes show and THEN I got out of bed. But I still didn’t go for a walk. I let the dogs out into the yard and wandered up to the back fence in my nightie to take in the dawn view. It’s my favourite thing to do and I often find myself waiting for it to get light in the wee hours so I can head out and look at the pastel sky or
Oh Pip I can't express just how happy I am to see you back in this space.
Only yesterday I was reading an insta post of yours and thinking how cheery and uplifting you and what a blessing it must be to have you as a friend. And now today you've done it again, reminded me to always look for the joy and awe and goodness no matter what else is going on, because it's always there if only I remember to look.
Oh my Gosh, thank you so much Pip, I’m a bit like Kate, so happy to ‘hear’ from you again🌻reading your posts is so refreshing, not to mention motivating, but remember to do it at your own pace🙏🏻Now to find someone to kick me in the bum!
Yes! Welcome back Pip. Thanks for giving us a peep at "Rosehaven". Do you think you'll eventually visit the craft group? Joining a group can be daunting I think. 🙃
In December I took heed of your thoughts on the benefits of walking and have started doing the same. I'm so happy to read your latest update. It's like hearing from an old friend. 💟
Spinners are the best - there's something companionable about sitting in a circle spinning :-).
But be prepared - they are unlikely to take no for an answer; someone will probably lend you a wheel (second hand ones are remarkably cheap, but take someone knowledgeable so you know it will spin well), and it's truly soothing and addictive. It's generally cheaper than buying yarn, and bright coloured roving is like lollies that aren't fattening. Spinning groups often have weekend getaways (which are excellent value), although here in Victoria they've been cancelled for the last two years, for obvious reasons.
Hurrah! I do love these posts! In England when you go into the Indian store to get some spices and whatnot they call okra ‘lady finger’! I am very fond of okra. I haven’t ever experienced a slimy one xxxx
