What You See Is What You Get. This is a journal blog, an explore-blog, a bit of this and that blog. Sharing where the mood takes me. Perhaps it will take you too.

Menongling; Being Still

I returned to Dunoon before Easter. The spring weather turned on for a couple of days, then returned to winter over Easter weekend, before coming up sunshine again as soon as school started back. 

My birthday came and went, then the World Snooker Championship started. Fifteen days of riveting table sports, sitting with Grey's door open to the spring and (some days) heat, crochet hook in hand (when not eating or doing puzzles). 

Parked in the West Bay Glenmorag car park, watching the big trees go from bare to full leaf over the past three weeks has been soothing. 

Trying to get motivated to visit The Hutch. Perhaps by the time you are reading this, I might have made it up those stairs!

That's the sum total of this post. A travel hiatus with a favourite hobby, a favourite sport and a favourite place. Sometimes being still is all that's required.

  2. The cherry blossom is always welcome. I heard somewhere that in UK spring travels north at about 3 miles per hour - slower up hills and faster down them.

  4. Hi Yam - lots to think about at the moment - let alone ignoring those things we do not need to think about. Congratulations on another year, and I do hope you've made it up the stairs to the Hutch - cheers and stay still! H xo

  5. Your picture is glorious, YAM. It reminds me so much of an impressionist painting. If you have to motivate yourself to visit The Hutch maybe it’s time to sell it. Seems a shame to let it sit vacant for months on end.

  9. What a wonderful time you are having. Nature is particularly generous and fresh in the Spring and right in the thick of it. I'm quite jealous.

  10. That time of being still is so hard to find sometimes but so good for the soul.
