| The sky as I came out of the supermarket yesterday |
Sometime just sometimes nature makes me stop in my tracks and yesterday was one of those days. I know that the natural phenomenon of the world can produce disasters and frightening conditions but on the other hand mother nature and the world around us is awe inspiring. Yesterdays sunset in Oxfordshire was truly spectacular. Are you near, did you see it? Luckily, I had my camera and so could take a few shots but as with anything amateurish, it does not do the sunset justice, but I had to share, it made me so happy yesterday.
As I came out of the supermarket yesterday, the whole sky has the most amazing glow to it. I was stopped in my tracks and immediately just looked all around and soaked it in. I had actually just stopped in the entrance of the supermarket and so caused a bit of a commotion and had to move almost in a drunken state of awe. People around me must have thought I was nuts. Quickly I scrambled to the car to retrieve my camera worried that the sky would change before I had a chance to pull off the camera cap, but the sky stayed this amazing orange pinky purple for about half an hour. I do abhor it when people forget to soak up the moment and rush to video or take photographs. How many parents fail to watch their child in a performance 'live' because they are busy filming? but after having soaked up the sky yesterday, I too wanted to 'capture' it!

...and finally onto some personal news. I am moving my crochet life onto the next level and will be running a six week course on a Thursday evening starting in January. We will be making blankets. Already 4 of the 6 places are taken, but if you live in the Oxfordshire area, near Wallingford and would like to join in, just give me a shout at eclectichomeandlife[at}gmail[dot]com Wish me luck in this new phase!

DeleteSelma, I learned about your blog from Jessie of the Rabid Little Hippy blog. My grandfather on my Mum's side was born in Lillehammer and my grandmother in Trondheim. So I was very happy to see all your Norske-themed posts! Especially the foods and crafts. I'm following you now . . . thanks so much! ~ Linne
