A Hiking of Bra Straps

 I feel brighter and more focused today. 
A lot more. 
For weeks I’ve felt a little listless and out of sorts. Something I couldn’t quantify adequately but something that had brought down my mood and my resolve.

The weather is bright and warm and sunny and I’m making my first list of the day
A to do list.
First thing I collected my petunias from Oli . He’s a lad who lives on Byron Street who was selling home grown petunias to earn extra pocket money.


I treated myself to a McDonald’s coffee, walked the dogs and picked spring flowers from the garden and lane, garlic mustard, bluebells and aquilegia , which I put in that little vase I bought at Camden Market.


The Velvet Voiced Linda gave me a gift over the kitchen wall
A book of poetry by Lucas Jones
It’s quite lovely

Good timing or what?

Best foot forward

    Lucas Jones is the most wonderful poet. Captures emotions beautifully.

  2. Lovely to hear you are feeling better. The weather helps doesn't it? Very sunny here. I sometimes wonder what the British character would be like if we had better weather more often.

  3. What a perfect book to give you at the moment. The sunshine is a big boost for our moods isn't it. I hope it lasts, but doesn't get too hot, I am a big wuss with heat.

  4. Good luck to Oli. Those petunias look healthy and I wish I lived close enough to buy a tray or two.
    You're sounding much more chipper today. I agree with the others, the good weather really does help lift the spirits. xx
