.....and then there was sunshine

The last few weekends have been utter bliss. Trips to Greenwich Park, cycles along the River Ravensbourne which is literally on our doorstep and today spent in the garden clearing away miles of ivy and creating a small haven.

I've also taken to waking between 5-6 in the morning to be at the desk and watch the sky change. Writing is rather magical in those silent, peaceful hours. I think I like writing in my little room whilst the husband still sleeps, but he has to go to work obviously so I try to cram in more time.

Oooh I'm tired, but a very satisfying kind of tired. I'm slowly awakening although I have an annoying bout of anaemia at play, I just love having created more hours in the day! I've always wanted to do it, especially when the likes of the wonderful Johanna Harness does it with her @amrwriting awakenings on twitter at 5:30 or earlier sometimes.

And so; writing, gardening, yoga and expending energy in positivity, what else can one do?

Henry Moore statue has returned, no doubt because of the Olympics, it's called "Large Standing Figure: Knife Edge"  but when I look at it, I keep singing Leonard Cohen's 'Dance Me to the End of Love'!

I fell into a world of blossom at this point, and yes, I do like to take pictures of other people's dogs!

....and my feet, well, you know me by now! like here , here, here, yup ,yup , still more-one of my faves, and more!

They all look like they're plotting here
