Winter

The air is cold, the clouds shed gentle snow,in blue shadows crystal sparkles gusty blow.Hold on now! For the spring is coming soon,the balmy air proceeds from next wolf moon.The wisdom of the world is layers deep.To let go now! To rest forever sleep.So small and bowed, and knelt on icy land, but reaching up…

Whirling and spinning roundabout world,swinging high and higher into the sky,to leap far…

Gate

Amidst the morning’s gentle light, Shiny milk churns by the gate, Stand guard, gleaming bright, Their metal forms reflect and radiate. Blocking the rough and sunken lane, They hold their post with stoic grace, Like soldiers standing firm, sustained, Until their mission is fulfilled with pace. These sentinels filled with dairy milk, Endure the wait…

Sunset

Where is the best place to watch the sunset near you? I live on the brow of a South West facing hill overlooking a wide, tree filled valley so am treated to many spectacular sunsets only a few steps away. Endlessly variable weather brought by Atlantic storms and a wavering Jet Stream with air masses…

“It is truly strange how long it takes to get to know oneself. I am now sixty two years old, yet just one moment ago I realised that I absolutely love lightly toasted bread. Simultaneously, I also realised that I loathe bread when it is heavily toasted. For almost sixty years, and quite unconsciously, I…
