There we are

Standard
Sunday 9th June 

There we are
In this moment's space
It is what it is
No need to chase

The immutable nature
Life's steady flow
Just accept things
Let the journey show

It'll be fine 
A soothing refrain
Yet it's not what you think 
Beneath the pain

Layers hidden
Truths yet to find
In the acceptance
Peace of mind

Love you so much
Beloved sons
Treasured Mum

Sunny, yet it’s still quite cool

Tidying up

Standard
Saturday 8th June 

Tidying up
Each item in place
Decluttering
Brings a serene space

Re-organising
And order restored
Clearing out
The piles we horde

In every corner
In every room
Brushing away
The collected gloom

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Bright and breezy

Anything and everything

Standard
Friday 7th June 

Anything and everything
Vast and wide
Possibilities endless
Horizons untied

Something and anything
Dreams to chase
A world full of wonder
At our own pace

Nothing and nowhere 
A quiet retreat
Silence and stillness
To solitude meet

Nobody and no-one
A peaceful embrace
The hush of the moment
Finding our space

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

A bright morning, but then the clouds covered the sky

Hope takes flight

Standard
Thursday 6th June 

Grief 
A shadow cast
Upon the heart's tender shore

Love 
A bright beacon
Guiding through the forevermore

Memories
Like stars
That twinkle in the night

Illuminating
The twisting path
Where hope takes flight

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Blue skies, but still chilly
A few on the beach in Kitty’s Corner

So sunny and bright

Standard
Wednesday 5th June 

So sunny and bright
The day begins
Blue skies overhead
Dreams soar on wings
But there's a chill
In the morning air
A northerly wind
Blowing keen and bare

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Blue skies, azure seas
Rooftops and windows
Low tide
Across the Hayle Estuary to Lelant

A week with us

Standard
Tuesday 4th June 

A  week with us
Our dearest Luke
We bid adieu
As you take flight
Portugal awaits
With warmth and sun
Here we shiver
Beneath grey light

Book a holiday
Plan a stay
Escape this
Bitter chill
And dream of days
In sunlit climes
Where cheer and joy
Our hearts will fill

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Grey skies this morning
Bye bye Luke
We’ll miss you
So cold and windy waiting for the plane to take off
Up, up and away
To the blue skies and warmth of Portugal

Along the Jurassic Coast

Standard
Monday 3rd June 

Along the Jurassic Coast
To the sea, we drove
Although a little cloudy
We walked to Lulworth Cove

Cliffs stand tall and ancient
Waves whispering their tale
In nature’s quiet splendour
Boats ready to set to sail

Exploring the rugged beauty
Where history meets the sea
Breathing in the fresh air
In a place where we feel free

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Lulworth Cove
Luke, Emily (Luke’s cousin), and Gary

A flying trip to Dorset

Standard
Sunday 2nd June 

A flying trip to Dorset
For Son to visit Nan
Then a wander to the river
With a cold beer in hand

Moments shared and cherished
Underneath the sky so blue
Family ties re-nourished
The warmth of love's true hue

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Wareham Town Hall
River Frome
Wareham Quay
Children playing in the water
The Old Granary Inn
A nice cold beer in the sunshine

Slowing down

Standard
Saturday 1st June 

Slowing down
To breathe
To simply be
Noticing nature
Taking in surroundings
To see

Looking up
Listening
To sounds around
Appreciating
The moments
Where peace is found

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

The harbour looking pretty this morning
Gary, Luke and I
Looking down on Kitty’s Corner, with Smeaton’s Pier on the left
Porthgwidden Beach

Not so bright today

Standard
Friday 31st May 

Not so bright today
It's turned cloudy and grey
Mood is a bit low, too
Need to keep pushing through

Finding strength within
Amidst the grey and dim
Tomorrow's light will shine
In time, all will align

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Grey and cloudy
But quite a few on the beach in the harbour
