Sunlit days and sunlight hours

29th March 

I am still buried under my pile of clothes from sorting out the wardrobes and beginning the spring clean.  I am a slow worker and its hard to type from under a pile of clothes, but I'm trying so bare with me.

Today is the last of Karen's Sunlit Sundays posts and I have enormously enjoyed being a part of this group.  Why is today the last post, because we have all survived the winter and for many spring has truly sprung and for others glimmer of hope is beginning to shine thorough.  What a winter it has been.  For me the best part about the thinking about Sunlit Sundays is how it makes you stop and ponder and appreciate the world around us, even when we are dropped in the darkness and dampness of winter.  Thank you to all those bloggers out in the interweb world for carrying me along this past winter.

Todays sunlit post is reminiscing about the winter and the hope that I found within and thank yous to everyone who has commented, peaked in to my world and shared my moments.  I love your comments and love the positivity that comes with blogging.  We know life is not all roses and we all have demons to fight but blog hops such as this eases those difficult moments in life, so THANK YOU. 

 

 

Despite deep winter, for the UK,
we noticed the beauty around us

To keep warm, I looked back at sunnier times

It becomes cold and damp in the UK in the winter,
 but we do have stunningly glorious frosty days

Log fires were a constant in our house to
try to eradicate the dampness

Eventually the frosts became less harsh
and the flowers began to pop through

We often have dramatic sky lines, so have remembered
to look up during those winter months when all
you want to do is bunk down

Sunrises become a thing of beauty again

Snowdrops cheered me up no end,
despite still being cold, hope was beginning

The sun started to come out to play, although
not gloriously warm, just seeing her lifted the spirits

Week end breaks and walking became a
possibility again, although a good fire was needed
on return to warm us from the brisk cold air

The UK is stunning

My daughter travelled to Kenya for voluntary work,
we have much to be thankful

Food always becomes a big
focus for me in cold months

The odd days gave us clear blue skies and the promise
of a warm summer, but in typical fashion these are few
and far between at this time of year

Weekly cake baking has seen me
through the winter

And crochet classes have given Thursday evening a new happiness

Sunlight streaming thorough
on one of my crochet ladies work

Yes, I can feel the beginning of warmth in the air and longer day light hours, bliss.
