Of Letters And Words

I have a collection of letters in a drawer. Letters written to me by my husband in the early days of our romance, when he was travelling overseas and I was in Canada, before we decided to combine our lives. Others are small notes from my daughter, cards and scraps of paper, where she’s writtenContinue reading “Of Letters And Words”

A Tale Of Two Birthdays

I’ve just had a birthday. It was a quiet one, of course – the day spent at home, gifts arriving via post and email, birthday messages virtual for the most part. I was lucky, nonetheless, to hear from so many people, and to have immediate family with whom to spend it. It was very different,Continue reading “A Tale Of Two Birthdays”

The Threads Of Life

I spoke to my mother on the phone yesterday. It’s a fairly regular thing we do, especially as we’re not able to visit each other at the moment. We try to speak at least once a week, catching up on what little news there is to share, and talking of this and that. This weekContinue reading “The Threads Of Life”

One of those friends is Sue Vincent. Warm, kind and generous is only aContinue reading “The Sue Vincent Rodeo Classic – Saddle Up!”

#writephoto – Guarded

I’m beyond thrilled that the lovely Sue Vincent has revived her #writephoto prompt. Sue has a knack for taking photographs that contain stories, so it’s lovely that she feels able to share them once again. This week, her prompt is this atmospheric shot of a boulder guarding a pathway. I’ve been on a few journeysContinue reading “#writephoto – Guarded”

A New Year

I realise we’re already over three weeks in to the new year, so I’m a bit late to the party. But what a year it’s been already, hey? (wild understatement, I know) However, I don’t wish to dwell on the darkness that currently surrounds us. There are threads of hope carried in this year, andContinue reading “A New Year”

The Year That Was

As the year winds to a close, it’s customary to look back at all we’ve achieved in the past 365 days. In a normal year, I suppose, that would be the case. However, as we all know, this has been anything but a normal year. And so, while I’ve certainly achieved a few *things* thisContinue reading “The Year That Was”
