Holiday musings ..........2

It was my birthday while we were away (yes - I kept that one under my hat) but when you keep celebrating your 21st birthday over and over and over again - you become rather blasé !  I want to share with you the wonderful 'gifts' our holiday gave us........

Glorious big skies that went on forever, 
filling us with a lightness and airiness that we find so refreshing.


Evening walks through fields of barley, oat and wheat. Scented by the warm earthy smells of growing.


Shared games and happy laughter next to a gently lapping sea.

A delicious little find, a stone built shelter high up on a rocky beach, and inside a water-tight box containing two books, one for writing thoughts and visitor's comments and the other encouraging you to sketch -  I chose the latter. We sat here for a while, soaking in the solitude, loving the solidity and protective nature of this little stone hut.

All for now, thank you for popping by and sharing some of my memories and I promise to post some holiday crochet next time. But before I go, I just want to thank you  for the lovely responses to my most recent 'What's in a name?' post, my feelings are you get as much out of them as I do! Thank you so much!

Speak soon my dears xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  4. Thank you!

    Oh if only I was 21 again but with the wisdom (if you could call it that) I have now, actually thinking about it, no I don't think I'd want to be that young again, just a bit younger than I am now!!! What is that saying - youth is wasted on the young?!!? too true :)
