A healthy, juicy, over-Wintered organic carrot. There is something rather wonderful about going outside to attend to something, rugged up warmly against the cold, taking a detour into a protected area of the garden to see how it has fared in the icy cold weather, and discovering signs of life in a large pot of … Continue reading Carrots at the tail end of Winter

Gentle progress on the Blog structure
Well, believe it or not, I have finally managed to create additional Menu headings for The Holly Tree Tales ... After weeks of attempting to do this by myself (both of my tech savvy children away and colleagues scant right now) and making all manner of errors, I have once more achieved a shift in the growth direction.

Tackling Blog Technology

When I looked through my archives to find the little piece, I discovered that it had been written just before midnight, … Continue reading Love is the Answer
Life is worth mastering …
The piece below was written upon waking this morning, Tuesday 17th February 2015, and flowed from my pen as I allowed the words to 'write' themselves. The thoughts come from my own experience of life, and my own journey, but the flow of words was not controlled. I simply allowed them to be, just as I … Continue reading Life is worth mastering …
When we can see the beauty in a flower
This small piece was first 'published' via The White Space at http://www.facebook.com/thewhitespace on 25 January 2015. I copy it here, for anyone who needs to be reminded of beauty, or to receive a hug of understanding in their moment of difficulty. ~ : ~ When we can see the beauty in a flower, it says more about … Continue reading When we can see the beauty in a flower
