Memories that last forever

Standard
Wednesday 8th May 

Memories that last forever
Etched in the heart's embrace
Moments shared together
In time's endless chase

Memories forgotten never
In the fabric of our soul
A canvas of love and laughter
Where life takes its toll

Love you so much
Beloved sons
Treasured Mum

A hazy day

Red and yellow boats

Standard
Tuesday 7th May 

Red and yellow boats
Bobbing in the bay
In the tranquil harbour
Where they gently sway

Such a pretty picture
In this vibrant place
Bringing a smile
To each and every face

Pause and admire
This colourful sight
The red and yellow boats
Bring joy and delight

In this serene moment
Let worries fade away
Basking in the beauty
On this peaceful day

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

St Ives this morning
Man’s Head this afternoon
Porthmeor Beach and the Island
The slipway in the harbour
Calm seas
The red and yellow boats
Looking towards the Wharf

Melanoma Monday

Standard
Monday 6th May 

Melanoma Monday
A call to be aware
Of dangers lurking
In the sun's warm glare

A reminder to be vigilant
In it's golden glow
To protect our skin
From harm we may not know

Vigilance is key
In the battle we face
Against melanoma
Our lives to embrace

Love you so much
Treasured sons

Over the rooftops

In the twilight’s hue

Standard
Sunday 5th May 

In the twilight's hue
Where dreams and shadows meet
Love and grief entwine
In a dance bittersweet

Memories whisper softly
Echoing through time
As the future beckons
In a surreal pantomime

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Cloudy, but no rain today

Quiet

Standard
Saturday 4th May 

In the quiet of night
Where stars gleam
In the whispers of the soul
Where hopes scheme

Maybe, perhaps
Imagine, discover
In the depths of the heart
Where dreams uncover

Love you so much
Precious sons

Sunny skies again

Corridors of time

Standard
Friday 3rd May

Through corridors of time
We silently roam
In the assorted memories
Where hearts find home
Though those days are gone
They forever remain
In the gentle whispers
Where love does sustain

Love you so much

Dearest Mum

A sunny St Ives this morning

Landing early this morning

Standard
Thursday 2nd May 

Landing early this morning
In dense fog and pouring rain
Quite a shock to the system
Need to go on holiday again!
A slow drive home in traffic
Safely back, shouldn't complain
Now to unpack, sort things out
And tidiness to maintain

Love you so much
Treasured sons

Saying goodbye to Luke and Talita yesterday
Our plane, over an hour delayed
The Algarve looking sparkly
It was touch and go whether we would land or be diverted elsewhere. So very foggy.
Our drive home soon was brightened by blue skies
The “Nearly There Trees”
The A30….. But it did come to a standstill later

Nearly

Standard
Wednesday 1st May 

It's nearly time to fly
We have to say "Goodbye"
It's been a blast
But gone too fast
Until next time; big sigh

Love you so much

From Tavira to Santa Luzia
Dodging the clouds and rain

We have settled into a routine…. Morning coffee
Ready for the holiday

Lunch stop in Santa Luzia
A little drizzle fills the air
Above a doorway
A pensive Luke

An intricate doorway
Stop it Luke!

A breezy beach day
