Roses and bees are very apt

Roses and bees are very apt for International Women's Day. This is very beautiful, Jenny. Through a window there is so much to see and some sights are unchanging whether you are old or young. Once thing is for sure, there is always housework.

All family treasures with much meaning, Rhiannon and prompts for so many memories and stories. That was an interesting dive into your cupboard. I'd forgotten all about those little wooden fruits with a moving beetle inside.

Hi Di, thanks for reading and commenting. It's funny about the ancestral genes isn't it, kind of the genetic lottery. Swanning around in long skinnies, oh to be young again (but without all the associated anxiety).

Very true words Rhiannon, eloquently written with the rhythm of the heart. A sentiment which we need to remind ourselves of, perhaps now more than ever.
