Hello, and thanks for visiting! A couple of months ago a good friend nominated me in one of those Facebook challenges you may have seen doing the rounds - 7 black and white photos over 7 days from your ordinary life, excluding people and pets, posted without explanation. I accepted the challenge, and enjoyed the process so much that I was soon wondering how I could extend it. This blog is my answer. The photos won't always be in black and white - I've long understood how important colour is to me - but I plan to adhere to the other rules of the challenge for a full 365 days and, in doing so, tell the story of the next year in my life. Knowing how I struggle with discipline, especially self-discipline, I imagine this process will throw up quite a few challenges for me but hopefully that will all be part of the growing and learning process. There will be little or no explanation posted, though I'll be happy to chat in the comments, and I hope you find something here to enjoy.
Now! That's my kinda office...

That's a good age..21..when the oldest cat in the Guinness World Records has just confirmed that Scooter, a 30-year-old Siamese from Mansfield, Texas, is the
oldest cat in the world..!
Well I think Hobie has his sights set on the record! He's a tad skinnier (but the vet's still happy), and his hips aren't quite what they were (I know the feeling!), but he's never had meds in his life, he's still handsome, still a loveable pain in the arse, and still gets spoilt rotten by all and sundry!
DeleteI swapped my corporate office, high heels and pager for gardens, safety boots and secateurs nearly 25 years ago. I won't exactly say I've never looked back - it's hard sometimes, the pay's crap, the weather challenging, I'm not getting any younger, and there have been injuries - but was, and still is, right for me. I re-discovered my soul and spirit, pushed my own limits, met my husband, and we now work with our younger daughter. Going self-employed 20 years ago we also achieved that degree of autonomy and self-determination essential to the dignity of any human being. And, on a good day, with the sun shining and birds singing, there are moments of such grace ......
