I've been spending a lot of time in peaceful places. How lucky are we to have views like this almost on our doorstep? The kingdom of Fife is a beautiful place indeed and there are so many wonderful places to spend time. I've been to the beach a lot, enjoying the sound of the water and breathing the fresh air.
Spending time in my garden has also made me happy. Now I'm no gardener by any means, but I like to look at pretty things and seeing all the beautiful spring flowers bloom over the last few months has certainly lifted my spirits no end. First came the crocuses, and they brought a welcome splash of purple to the garden after the long months of winter. Next the daffodils appeared, and their cheery yellow heads bobbing up and down made me smile from the kitchen window as I washed dishes. Finally my tulips made an appearance and their lovely colours brought brightness around the edge of the patio. I'm so glad I thought to plant bulbs last autumn and I was delighted to see all the colour in the garden.
For the first year since moving into our house, we have daisies growing in our grass. Every time I see one I smile and think of our darling Daisy. It will be her birthday soon - where did the last year go?
It hasn't been all peace and tranquillity! There's been trampolines and picnics, trips out and visits to the park, school activities, after school activities, camping, creativity and mess - in general just a huge old dose of real life.
There's also been an extreme amount of DIY going on at home, with the PC buried under a pile of dust sheets for what seems like weeks! It's finally been uncovered and we're now back up and running online.
And I'm back to blogging. I enjoy writing; it's good for me to have an outlet to write and share. And of course I get to interact with lots of lovely readers, which pleases me no end.
Thanks for all your continued good wishes and kind messages - it's always so nice to hear from you!
Best wishes
Debbie
