THREE TIMES A YARN SHOW

This morning the air at home does not smell of sheep. My eyes are bleary and perhaps this means my sense of smell has not yet awakened, but the first thing I am noticing is what’s not there. And that is the scent of sheep in fields on a farm. Having spent the weekend atContinue reading “THREE TIMES A YARN SHOW”

SLOW DOWN

This morning the air is filled with the scent of grass and the sound of birdsong. A blue sky is welcoming the day, and promising warmth soon. Alt text tells me this week’s photo is a road with words painted on it. It is indeed and it is a photo of what I call theContinue reading “SLOW DOWN”

A TRIP TO LONDON TOWN

This morning the air brings me the notes of new carpet off gassing in a Premier Inn and mixes in essence of chilled seaside town air. A soundtrack of traffic plays like urban waves in the background. Alt text says this week’s photo is a person holding a book in front of a bookcase. IContinue reading “A TRIP TO LONDON TOWN”

A DAFFODILESQUE DALEK, THE FIRST MOW, AND THE MUSE

This morning the air mingles the scent of warm Premier Inn and fresh grass into a cloudy mix.  Alt text says this week’s photo is a yellow flower in the grass. I say it is my shadow featuring a midforehead daffodil. I also say I was rather hoping to create a daffodilesque dalek photo. IContinue reading “A DAFFODILESQUE DALEK, THE FIRST MOW, AND THE MUSE”

THIS MORNING, WOOD PIGEONS

This morning, wood pigeons are sounding their calls and I remember them heralding in the sunny days of my youth. The air carries definite hints of spring, and I call the scent raw floral as I am transported back to my time of harvesting daffodil bulbs. Last night’s mist has cleared and the day isContinue reading “THIS MORNING, WOOD PIGEONS”

I SEE BLUE SKY

This morning the air holds the scent of green and unfurling. The birds are well awake when I step outside and are singing to each other of a new day to be in, seemingly unbothered by the wind. Alt text says this week’s photo is a tree with no leaves. I say it is blueContinue reading “I SEE BLUE SKY”

NO KISS ME QUICK HAT

This morning the air is cold and brings the scent of bark. The birds are singing to welcome in the day, and one short daffodil holds its trumpet proudly aloft on the front lawn. Alt text says this week’s photo is two women smiling for a selfie and indeed it is. It is Kath andContinue reading “NO KISS ME QUICK HAT”

UNDER A BLANKET

This morning the air is simply cold. I am unable to detect anything other than cold and fresh. The fresh feels revitalising. Alt text says this week’s photo is a person with a scarf behind her face. I say are you sure you want me to try to decipher that description. I also say itContinue reading “UNDER A BLANKET”

HYDRATION, CONVERSATION, AND GOOD COMPANY

This morning the birds are singing in the day under a clouded sky. The air is fresh and gently perfumed. I breathe deeply to determine what might be coming from my soap and what is flora on the breeze. Alt text says this week’s photo is a mug of hot chocolate and a photo ofContinue reading “HYDRATION, CONVERSATION, AND GOOD COMPANY”

MY YEAR IN REVIEW

This morning it is raining and the almost unchilled air carries strong hints of green. Alt text says this week’s photo is a collage of a group of people. It is indeed a collage and it is made from the photos that accompanied each blog post this year. I do like to take a lookContinue reading “MY YEAR IN REVIEW”
