Windy, windy, windy

I hope these past few days of sunshine have not been our Summer.
As I look out of the lounge window,  the wind is picking up, strong and relentless.

The gates are locked but rattling, and Hubby has made sure everything in the back garden is secure.

Who are you again 23rd March 2026?

Today is not a good day for me.
TWICE I have acknowledged comments and called the writing blogger by the wrong name.
My sincere apologies to Barbara and Susan (Vanda and Diana according to me.)

This Time Next Year

She came to me in a dream, as she always does when I am at my lowest.
Her comfort never wanes, she soothes my brow and I feel her love flowing into my body.
A mother’s love……. true, eternal, rich, warm, forever giving.
Her message was simple, and I awoke, but didn’t understand

Laughing Along With A Limerick: 23rd March 2026

Esther Chilton is our host and this week our prompt word is RIDE.
The car was out for a ride,
Their excitement could not be denied,
Not the doc or the vet,
But the beach to get wet,
They were ready, not running to hide.

Note: I just love this picture obtained from either another blog or the internet ten years ago.

Sharing My World 23rd March 2026

Here are my answers to the questions I posted earlier.
1.  The sun is shining as I type this, so my first question is:
After the cold weather of Winter, what is the first thing you like to do when the sun shines?
Make sure I’m not dreaming and then go out for the day. that has nothing to do with shopping.

2. Do you tan easily?
I had my first proper tan in 2014 when we were on the boat, and since then, my skin tans quite nicely without trying, though I don’t bathe in it and am very careful if I go up on the prom, beach or park in the summer.

3. Have you / would you use a nudist beach?
Doubtful.

4. Were you any good at building sand castles?
Hopeless. They were either too dry and collapsed on exit or too wet and stayed in the bucket. I did make sand mounds with moats though.
