Another Viibrant Anemone

5 October 2016 

The last of those

Cornish flora photos ... before I departed for home ... 

October 
My Mum admired this in the hedgerow; suggesting a photo. The last walk with Mum a while. A trek down and up Cornish lanes to lay flowers for a wedding anniversary at Dads resting place ... the day before the journey back ... from a town nestled in a valley on a estuary ...

Time elsewhere ...

Views of a lake in the North West of England in admist the industry of canals, market and railway towns on a showery summers day ... This a circular walk. And a view from a balcony. I had a meltdown in words in public. The emotional birthday void weekend of a deceased hubby. The expanse of water and the nearby canal did little to soothe to begin with at the time. These times still in a more of the enchanting days of a Summer since the loss of such much ... The wonder in simple things taken for granted ...

Colour in the dark ...







Time Out 
Dartford Park

Time to enjoy a season that nearly got lost too this year with life past taking over life present

The significance of the yellow rose ...

And again in the gift of flowers on my arrival home on the passing of a Nana and Mum in law this week last

a zoom on a bloom

A bloom in a zoom
As one ends again looms
Thrilled one had time
Most recently in Kent
That time preciously Lent
In the beauty of a Mothers' way
A generation gone this day ...
Words never fulfilling the say

Or Can Portray life from a different angle to currently ... Colour of spring and quiet celebrations

Restoring life in a once mess of an abode 

A view from a kitchen window of a home that saw tragedy 
March 5th, 2016



This window had beautiful curtains I made they became black and green with moss and mould 
Restoration with lots of love and hard work

Progress in the Kitchen ... from a Muddled home ... after it housed clutter ....


The kitchen counter has at last appeared further to the working triangle again, in a good size kitchen space in a home built in the 1950s. I use a tea trolley to move about a lot of light stuff at once and drag the larger stuff on a carpet that survived a flood ... the one I did not roll up and dispose of at that time ... or a piece of strong cardboard ... if it is not on wheels ... 

A home would be designed for ease not hinder ... this ironically was my philosophy and my love for a good home design long before it succumbed to a complex situation with my late husband ...

I do not wish to keep seeing the before photos ... I now want to see my home as it once could be  ... before this time ... I do not mind the progress photos as it happens ... There are many photos from two stuffed homes ... 

I am looking to a home I can photo my craft with a nice ambience and better lighting etc ... at the moment I use what I have ...

Nature and Architecture ...

and once knowing the actual Architect of this building in the background  ... a path well trodden ... a park well visited and poems inspired on the road through various griefs ... and of course capturing this moment last Autumn ... one Sunday in October ...
