The last present I gave to my partner was a Yorkshire Rose. In the turmoil of that fateful year, I cannot recall if she managed to see it flower before she left us. Well for the second year I’ve successfully not managed to kill it – very unusual for my not so green fingers. The difference this year is that the rose flowered on my partners birthday. Strange how one small flower can bring light on such a bleak day.
It’s strange how something as simple as sledging can lift the spirits. If only we could do this everyday!
Tomorrow March arrives yet winter continues here. It’s bleak and very cold.
The weather is matching my mood. Today the world seems a cold, bleak and lonely place. Luckily my son will return from school soon and he will lift my spirits. Even the bleak landscape will start to be transformed. Its amazing what a snowman can do.
Even in a poor summer you can get moments of beauty if you look hard enough. Let’s now find that pot of gold.
You dream of summer holidays filled with sun and outdoor fun. Welcome to Yorkshire this lunchtime.
