Mighty

Mausefalle

Caught in a trap – and yet, he is a mighty mouse hewn from a mighty oak standing in our woods to tell the children about the time when he outplayed the Gruffalo.

More than noise

Our walks during lock down where often through eerily quiet neighbourhoods. No cars, no playing children, even no animals could be heard. Then an unimaginable ruckus! All the louder for the earlier silence.

An old farm building was being prepared for core renovation and bricks and stones were coming down a shoot at speed to land in the trailer of a tractor. What a ruckus!

Needless to say that I took 10 photos with a pile of unmoving stones until I got one with a stone in mid air!

… need … more … juice …

After having spent an afternoon outside with our running group I am not juiced up enough for an energetic post. We take turns hosting a run and today’s was organised by a Brazilian. Mid-way we were surprised with proper Caipirinhas, Brazilian Cachaça and lime juice as refreshers which might explain my state of mind (and body) this Sunday night.

Strawberry fields forever

When cycling through the fields, mostly strawberry and asparagus, I was bowled over this May with the scent of strawberries in the air. You would come around a corner and it hit you: STRAWBERRIES. Definitely more than a whiff. But it lingered and I could keep smelling a faint strawberry scent for hours afterwards. And now, with summer gone I just need the slightest whiff of a single strawberry and I am back in the fields thinking of the quote “Doubtless God could have made a better berry, but doubtless God never did” (by Dr William Boteler, quoted via Roger Williams – or possibly somebody else).

Enjoy life

Her mop has a handle, and she handles the litter with a great attitude. “Enjoy life”, is a great handle on life.
