A life made bland by ease is

Posted on Sat, 23 Jun 2018

A life made bland by ease is a very telling phrase. So easy just to criticize others, or frustration at the attitudes of 'society'. I was reading of the problems of fasion and the assumptions of constant new clothing necessary, made to...

I'm not good at trying to compare, Di. I hadn't meant there was anything wrong with your descriptions of the boats in the other - sometimes I just need a bit of reassurance.

I like the mossy wall and the colour of the bluebells coming in...

Posted on Tue, 22 May 2018

You have caught here the feeling of looking down on your life and family's ways when far apart, and the place you've just left, like if one could see a film catching each on their travels. It reminded me of one of my children (when very young)...

I did have a little look, and saw a suggestion that pale colours can use the weaker sun better, and are thereore more prevalant in the spring. Will return if gather any more thought on it!! Rhiannon

I've been away. Just seen

Posted on Thu, 12 Apr 2018

I've been away. Just seen this. It seems to speak of an attempt to return to where one once knew a welcome, but for some reason there is no acceptance, no resonance. I also thought the line 'the only growing is old.' very telling, and...
