Wow - March is already well underway, and there is a definite feeling of Spring - despite the gales and hail and stormy weather we have had in the last seven days. I have written written quite a few posts this week, but there are still a few pictures of special everyday joys that I want to share :
Like - taking time out one morning, just me and the dog, to head up the coast a few miles, and check out a place I hadn't been, but wanted to see. The Norse Mill and Kiln as Siabost.
Or - just watching the weather change almost by the minute - four seasons in one day is so much the case here.
This boy's smile
Suddenly noticing the light catching a cobweb down in the barn, and watching as it turned into a work of art.
Marvelling at the vibrant colours of nature's pallette.
Swooning at the deliciousness of this just made custard and raspberry tart at the visitor centre cafe
And just enjoying the happy sight of a vase of pussy willow on the window sill
Nothing special - but completely precious. I wish you Seven Days full of joy and blessings. xxx
Your boy has grown up again, Jacqui!
ReplyDeleteJust so lovely to see what is going on around you. Beautiful photos as ever!
ReplyDeleteSounds special to me. xx
ReplyDeleteThe simple pleasures make all the difference x
ReplyDeleteLovely to see a pic of the norse mill & kiln - fascinating place. Have you been to Arnol? You'd love that.
ReplyDeleteHi Robyn - yes i really liked Arnol, and I have been a few times. I would love to sit fro a while in that house beside the fire. Garenin is good too, but different, and I love the iron age house at Bosta.

Wonderful....much love and blessings to you.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting step back in time (Norse Mill and Kiln). Lovely, thoughtful photos as usual, Jacque.
ReplyDeleteYour boy's cheeky grin made me smile Jacqui, he's so sweet!
ReplyDeleteBright Blessings indeed

ReplyDeleteThis is one of the joys of blogging...taking moments to really see what is around us! Thanks for sharing but I do with I could taste that custard-raspberry tart for myself. :-)

ReplyDeletethe pussy willows are fantastic and like Linda, i noticed how your son seems more grown up in this picture.
ReplyDeletePS. Thank you for your lovely words on my blog, I value your friendship. xx
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing your "simple pleasures" with the rest of us. I noticed the difference in James too - and what a fab smile! Lovely.
ReplyDeleteThanks all for your lovely comments. james is shooting up - I can't get trousers with long enough legs and a small enough waist. He is going to be a bit of a beanpole I think xx
ReplyDeleteJust lovely! xx
ReplyDeleteI so love your life, and love your energy to serve it to use exquisitely via this blog of yours. I never replied to you about your suggestion that I come knit while bringing in the peat at your croft. Maybe one day sister ! Maybe one day ! xJen
ReplyDeleteI meant 'serve it to us', not 'serve it to use'...trying to be poetic and I totally blunder'd. bah !!!
ReplyDeleteInteresting photographs...are they polaroid or created using some photoshop effects? Either way, they're great! I love the first one with the huts best.
ReplyDeleteLove your series of the week. The weather changes sound very much like ours. I don't know if we should be wearing short sleeves or coats, sandals or boots..and always having an umbrella at the ready.
