Storm Eleanor.

 

While out walking

strong winds blowing

feeling like

October's gales,

 

dead leaves dancing

jumping, flying,

circles around me

this way and that.

 

Rosy cheeked toddlers

energetic

excited at

gusty storm,

 

running, laughing

giving me a smile,

cheering me up

as I walk on.

These winds certainly blow the cobwebs away, don't they, and like the toddlers, your cheeks seem to have got rosy and your eyes sparkly. I had to take the car out so I had to watch the doors didn't get wrenched out of my hands! Enjoyed sharing your enjoyable walk, Jenny, and nice you can get out to do so now. Rhiannon

Hi Rhiannon,

just had to record Storm Eleanor in a poem. I have to admit it was one of the windiest days here in Swindon and the leaves were flying everywhere. Some toddlers were having great fun running around chasing the dead leaves that seemed as if they were chasing the toddlers too, I thought it was so comical which is why it gave me a smile. smiley

Thank you for the feedback. I'm doing really well with the new hip and walking brilliantly now.

Many thanks and Happy New Year.

Jenny.

Glad to hear all is going so well with the hip, Jenny.  Storm Eleanor really roared its way around my area, but thankfully no damage apart from a few branches going astray.  Enjoyed your poem, and loved the idea in your comment about the leaves chasing the toddlers!

Hi there airyfairy and a happy new year to you. This windy weather is so invigorating to walk in and my new hip gives me so much pleasure. To be able to walk into town again is wonderful, it's something I've so missed. In a way I'll miss the chilly breezes when they finally stop, this is definitely my kind of weather. Glad you didn't get it too bad where you are.

Thank you for stopping by to read and leave a comment. Very much appreciated.

Jenny.

Lovely to hear you're leaping into the new year with renewed gusto Jenny and back on top form! We had sheet lightening during the storm here, which was quite impressive!

Hi insert,

I can imagine the lightening must have been spectacular to see. The sun's shining here at the moment so I'm off for my daily walk.

Thank you for your thoughtful words. Hope you are well.

Happy New Year.

Jenny.
