It's been another ordinary week. One day has seamlessly blended into the next. I've been focusing on gratitude and simple pleasures and I feel blessed in so many ways.
Spring has been creeping slowly in. We've enjoyed some lovely warm, sunny days. The countryside suddenly seems much more colourful at this time of year. It's so uplifting to see the blossom on the trees, and lambs appearing in the fields. I still haven't had chance to get out into the garden properly, but maybe in the next few weeks. Although, I have been eyeing up some new garden furniture online, as I promised that I would treat myself this summer. Nothing fancy, just a little table and some chairs.
Last weekend, we took a short but steep walk up Raven Crag, above Thirlmere. It had been a while since I'd last enjoyed the view there, and with the promise of some blue skies it was too good an opportunity to miss. We set off early, and walked across the dam road, which I always think is the most scenic approach. It was quite cool, so early in the morning, and you can probably just about see the snow on the higher fells. Our short climb was rewarded with an incredible view. A beautiful start to the day, and we were home in time for lunch.
In other matters, I'm still playing a waiting game. Everything is uncertain and yet I'm feeling more settled than I have in a long time. What is it they say. Yesterday is gone, tomorrow isn't promised, today is a gift. And with that in mind, today we're off in search of some frog spawn :)
Back soon.
