Oh to see clearly! Near to my home is a splendid hill. It is where buildings stop and countryside takes over. You can see for miles; hills of green, farmlands, ever-changing skies – the river beneath. I go out of my way to drive there; coffee – with a view. I did it again today Read More …

Spot the Difference!
A red tree and a yellow tree – both vivid and vibrant, planted next to each-other. What are the chances of that – or did the Gardener make a decision? They stand out for being different – and being together. Red is a vivid colour, but so is yellow. I wonder what their personalities Read More …
