A Quick Flash…..of Autumn Sunshine

A mixed day, mainly grey and overcast.  Then an occasional quick burst of sunshine quickly seeking out the autumn colours. I know we always say that the sun makes all the difference to a day….. it does.  On a  grey day these quick flashes seem to make those colours glow extra bright.

Then, for a very short period of time, those clouds would open up to reveal more blue,  suggesting that the day was going to wake up…..  wake up to a create a different day…

That was not to be.  The blue vanished and left more grey skies.  As the forecast for tomorrow is for heavy rains, we must be grateful for today’s taste of sunshine…however brief that was…

Some say, positive thinking can make all the difference….   but somehow I don’t think it will influence the weather gods.

No matter the weather…..

Dreaming…… Oh! for a Walk on a Beach

Beach-at-Bedruthan-(1)

Maybe its frustration with the current situation we all live in…. but  I have been dreaming of a walk along a beach, listening to the sound of the surf and the ever present call of the Gulls.  Doesn’t matter which beach but this one at Bedruthan , North Cornwall would do just fine.

Sadly it will remain a dream, for how long, who knows….

Please Remember ….

Stay Safe …. Be Kind…. Look After Each Other
