I see growth everywhere, spring into light tucked away in corners, growing on logs, in tree, popping up from the dewy grass.
Life, nature, growth.
Circles, rhythms, patterns.

Blowing Off The Cobwebs
Stuart and I had the chance to go for a long walk to Wreay Woods, without the children, we had a lovely morning meandering along the river bank and seeing all the signs that Spring is not far away.
Stu got a great camera for Christmas, a Canon EOS 550D which means we got some beautiful shots of the new growth. I especially loved the Fungi pictures the one below being my favourite.
Take some time out this week to look around, the world around you is waking up from it's Winter snooze a little early, let's hope the mild weather stays.

He managed to sneak a couple of me too, but this one is not too bad.

Epiphany
Epiphany: The sudden realization or comprehension of the essence of something.
So this blog post hopefully fills in my absence from before Christmas, not Christmas is normally a very hectic time for me and this year was no exception. It's normally the best chance of getting overtime at work(Monsoon), I had my own makes and commissions to finish as well as doing all my shopping and cards etc....
I love Christmas but never actually rest long enough to completely enjoy it, all I wan to do on the day is sleep.
However this year something happened, my cousin Lesley died very unexpectedly she was 38 and left behind a loving husband and 6 young children 2 days before Christmas. She was a wonderful person and it was heartbreaking to think of her family without her.
It made me concentrate on what actually matters, my own family, so every spare moment I had I tried to spend more time with them than doing for others, we made paper chains, I enjoyed the wonderful biscuits Hubby made with them, I tried to relax when I got home from work so I wasn't so tired when I was with them, I hugged them harder. I loved them more.
So sorry blogging world I was too busy to talk but I had things to do, we had Santas to visit, things to bake, gifts to make and people to appreciate; I'm sorry to say I didn't blog about any of them..
This year I enjoyed Christmas because I had the realization that it wasn't about gifts,cards,posh food, drink but family, just sat round chatting enjoying each other, and that is exactly what I did.
I hope you enjoyed your time together this year.
