Little things that delight


                       

                        As we draw near to Christmas Day, it’s always good to get away 

                        from the shops, the spending, the worry about ‘room in the freezer’, 

                        the Christmas card writing and the constant making of lists...

                        ....and venture outside!




                        The little things delight, whether it is a mossy wall, the flash of red 

                        from the Gaultheria, an ivy covered milk churn, dried flower heads 

                        of the Hydrangea or a dainty, white, winter Clematis.

                        Each is beautiful in its own unique way!




                         I treasure these things; they cost nothing to enjoy and

                         they return year after year. 




                         For me, 2020 has been different, yet at the same time, refreshing.

                         The daily walk has made me open my eyes and appreciate

                         the wonders of nature, its seasons and all that these offer. I’ve 

                         always been a nature lover anyway but this year has brought 

                         more time to really savour the flavour.
