You’re there

Standard
Sunday 15th January 

You're there, existing
In all those silent spaces
In every voiceless void
Within the peaceful places
Enclosed in each calm corner
Behind smiles on friendly faces

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Taking a moment

Standard
Saturday 14th January

Taking a moment
To stop and look
Stand for a while
Close the guidebook
See for myself
Fears can be shook
Dispelled, thrown out
Completely unhook
Breathing slowly
Find a snug nook

Love you so much
Beloved sons

Small steps

Standard
Friday 13th January 

Small steps
Going forwards
To a goal
Ever onwards
Heart smiling
Moving towards
Better times
Never backwards
Making life
More straightforward

Love you so much
Treasured sons

Raindrops

Standard
Thursday 12th January 

Raindrops softly descending
Blurring the landscape outlines
Smudging all the sharp corners
Filling with abstract designs

Love you so much
Precious sons

Back to normal

Standard
Wednesday 11th January 

And now we're back to normal
Thoughts of another getaway
Are spinning around our heads!
The sunshine seems so far away

Grey winter days, so gloomy
For sunshine, I'll pine away
Looking back on photographs
We were lucky to fly away

And I'm sure we'll soon be back
For another break away
Sitting on a beautiful beach
Like a happy castaway

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Driving home today

Standard
Tuesday 10th January 

And we're driving home today
But it's raining all the way
Grinch Mk II came from the USA
Replacing the one stolen on Christmas Day

Love you so much

The ‘Nearly There’ Trees at Lifton
Cookworthy Knapp
A copse of beech trees
Grinch Mark II was delivered this morning, waiting on the doorstep when we arrived home. I ordered it from Spain, on Christmas Day, soon after we realised that the original one had been stolen from our parked car.

Together again with Frankie Angel Bear
😇😘😇

Nearly ready to fly

Standard
Monday 9th January 

Nearly ready to fly
Across the sky
Málaga bye bye
A great big sigh

We left in sunshine
Didn't land in rain
Really wish we were
Back there again

Love you so much
Treasured sons

Such a lovely sunrise this morning
On the way to the airport
Ascending out of Málaga
Over the fields of southern England
A sunburst coming in to London

Sad to be leaving

Standard
Sunday 8th January 

Luke and Talita
This morning they left
Driving to Portimão
Five hours to the West

We're packing up, too
And flying tomorrow
Sad to be leaving
We'll be back, I know

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum
xxxxx
All packed and ready to go
To Sevilla first for lunch, then Portimão
Toot toot, bye bye 👋🏻😘👋🏻
It’s been showery all day
Looks like it will rain again soon

Benalmádena

Standard
Saturday 7th January 

Off to Benalmádena
A Brazilian restaurant
Talita's from São Paulo
But not sure what I want
Then walking along the front
For a Trocadero sunset
Cocktails on the terrace
Colours we won't forget

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

A day of leisure

Standard
Friday 6th January 

A day of leisure
Roving and roaming
Along the boardwalk
Children beachcombing
The Day of Three Kings
Holiday hoping
Gifts and family time
With much love showing

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Breakfast at the skatepark café
Handing our hire car back this morning
Sunny meanderings
Cold beers
A Tiki Bar stop
Cool decor
Much sunnier outside, though
Salmon, avocado and egg on toast
Sunshine 🌞
