This amazing creature just flew into our front window with a hell of a thud. It lay head down for about 5 mins, then lifted its head and looked around. Finally, and with huge applause from the family, it flew off. ๐

My elderly mum in Lancashire just told me that the local corner shop delivered bread, milk and 2 warm meat and potato pies. She said, "I was going to save one Philip, but, they were so good, I ate them both." Wonderful, wonderful service...๐
The beautiful rose in the front garden is having a second bloom. Oh, and the smell is divine...๐โ๏ธ๐โ๏ธ๐

My youngest daughter has had type 1 diabetes for 361 days. She has never, once, seen it as a negative. I'm so proud of the confident, aware and fearless little personality she has become. โคโคโค

This year's winter solstice is on Sunday the 22nd December. The time when, in the northern hemisphere, the earth's axis is tilted furthest away from the sun. This point will be, in England, at 04.19 on the 22nd. Then roll on spring... ๐

"I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxslips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with elegantine."

Daily exercise, walking a short circular walk, around East Devon's quiet country lanes and footpaths. We didn't bump into a soul... โ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธ
