First swallow, first cuckoo and first orange tip butterfly - all in one day with warmth and sunshine too!

I am taking a little blog break and leave you with a few recent pictures and a piece of music (forget Julie whatshername) by the wonderful Stephen Hough....

Hi Freda, I heard my first cuckoo yesterday morning too! Lovely pictures, especially the seed heads with shadows (alliums?) and those beautiful perfectly matching blues. Been enjoying catching up with your posts. x

Thank you for that wonderful performance. I couldn't even read the music fast enough let alone imagine playing it. I'll look forward to your first day back!

Lovely pictures. The first three ones and the two last ones would make a great set of postcards! Maybe they could be the SET FIVE?
Enjoy your pause, I'll be waiting for your return!

Thanks for sharing the recording Freda, I enjoyed it immensely. I was lucky enough to hear Stephen Hough when he performed in my town a few years ago - I think he's one of the greatest living pianists we have.

I heard him once in Glasgow - astonishing and life-affirming!

'This story is about a bowl.
A bowl - waiting to be filled.
If what I have just written makes no sense to you,
I am not surprised.
If I had known in the beginning what I was looking for,
I would not have written this story.
I had to trust there was a reason I had to write,
and I didn't have to have it all figured out in order to begin.
I would find what I was looking for
along the way.

This is how 'Every Day Sacred' by Sue Bender begins. A story
about a bowl. A bowl like yours in that beautiful photograph. Every day sacred.
