Spring

With the Spring Equinox last week and Mothers' Day at the weekend, it really feels the time of year to celebrate burgeoning new life. For me this spring is especially magical as I have just given birth to my first child, a wonderful little son.

I took these baby animal pictures last year on a visit to a farm with some good friends who had recently become parents. Now the wheel has turned another year and I am looking forward to going again with my own little one. Enjoy!

Equinox

Welcome to the Autumn!

A time to relax and draw breath .. and enjoy the fruits of the earth. Lately I've been eating wonderful crispy jacket spuds and sweet local apples. And stewing lovely Bramley apples to mix with blackberries in crumbles and pies.

Equinox

Today is the equinox which heralds Spring and is, of course, the underlying and unifying theme behind many important religious festivals.

"Day and night are equal, poised and balanced, but about to tip over on the side of light."

This descibes exactly how I feel about this turning point .. emerging from the darkness into the light. New life, rebirth, potential and hope.
