Snow and Hemingway
The snow has fallen fast over the Eastern Welsh hills, so much so that I just had time to buy some logs before Bluebell slid precariously over the road East of the village
I was glad to have finished work for a week. I am tired
Last night I slept on my break , my head resting in my hand
I had a dream that I was dating the writer Ernest Hemingway, I’ve always had a bit of thing for him
He had a thick moustache and heavy stubble and wore a blue woolen jumper with a hole at the neck and he had a touch of dandruff
He also looked 60 which surprised me as I only consider myself as a “young” middle age thing

So I didn’t mind much
He also stood smiling at me as I hurried around the cottage looking for Mary to walk before I went to work.
And I tried to cling onto that image when my phone called me back from break with a vibrating tinkle

Never Far From Me
Any time I feel low
I just don't know how you know
You are never far from me
You are never far from me
Once again, there goes the phone
How could you possibly know
You are never far from me
You are never far from me
Before the time that you go
There is something you should know
You will always be in me
You are never far from me

This beautiful hand painted card is my New Years Message
A dear blog reader sent it me a year or so ago,
and it sits next to my favourite paintings in the living room
It’s message resonates to this day.
Just take my name out and put in your own
That’s all any of us can do, just keep swimming
It’s 6 am and I’m sat at my kitchen table with my bucket of coffee preparing for work
Winnie’s rubber Chicken is looking at me
And I’m sure he’s smiling
New Year Eve
