This post was published back in April 2014. I was going to write another blog about tulips but decided to simply revamp the old one and pop it out in the world again. We are currently immersed in what I think of as The Weird Time. The world we have known is upskittled, which on … Continued
Sunday, and a quiet day after our lovely Christmas Day with family and then the unexpected blizzard on our motorway trip home. I woke feeling a deep sadness, a dream I couldn’t recollect?
