It was something I did rather a lot of as a child. Lying on one side of the wind sheltering privet hedge, daffodils blooming madly on the other side, watching the clouds, feeling the warmth of the sun, dreaming, imagining, then drowsy. I could not have imagined my life as it has turned out.
Hello. David AKA Travel Penguin says I should stop by and have a look-see as I would enjoy your blog. I like the latests entries enough to stop by again.
I hope I am never too old and jaded to cloud watch. And a buttercup filled field sounds like an amazing bonus.
ReplyDeleteOh John so very sad about Sue in Suffolk's Col.
ReplyDeleteYes I hope our best wishes help justa little
DeleteI could do with some cloud watching. No clouds today, just grey.
ReplyDeleteI have only just heard something about Sue, but I am not sure what I understand about it.
ReplyDeleteOh, now I know. Very sad.
Delete"It's cloud illusions I recall
ReplyDeleteI really don't know clouds at all"
'Tis a whimsy I often enjoy... but no buttercups still dry as chips here in North East Victoria Australia.
ReplyDeleteWe came home to a new lamb in the paddock with her mum Ava... a few days early, might call her Buttercup :)
A favourite activity as a child...um...I guess I haven't grown up yet.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to watch the day,
ReplyDeleteAh happy times spent in Beaumaris when my mum lived nearby, love, love love fields full of buttercups.

ReplyDeleteButtercups! Lots here in SW France. Not much sunburn though. Weather too wintry. Got my husband's thermal long johns on today!
ReplyDeleteNothing like a nice day! I want to hear your thoughts on Eurovision!
ReplyDeleteAustralia was robbed
DeleteI bore all my friends with the photos of clouds that I take while spending quality time, outside cloud watching :)
ReplyDeleteFor example :

The joys of retirement!
ReplyDeleteIt was finally a beautiful day here yesterday. I burnt my nose sitting out on a deck with a friend enjoying the sun and a good chat.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what they think of us.
ReplyDeleteYou are a lovely man, John Gray.
ReplyDeleteHope it is a relatively pain free burn!
ReplyDeleteI would like to cloud-watch with you John. I really would! You would point them out and describe them beautifully.
ReplyDeleteGreetings Maria x
My thought are with Sue in Suffolk xx
DeleteLovely! xox
ReplyDeleteNo clouds, or buttercups for that matter, just beautiful blue sky, 23C. Sunburn! Where is the sunscreen?!!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful thing to do.
