This time it was the meaning of” by hook or by crook".<br />The video yesterday was great. How lovely to be in your favourite home.<br />A few months ago we assessed whether we should be moving as we live in an awkward little cottage and I have rheumatoid arthritis.<br />Many well meaning folk have suggested that, at our age, we should be down sizing and going to a bungalow.<br />However our judgement is that unless we absolutely have to we will stay in the home that we love even if we have to spend money on adaptations.<br />Finally it was lovely to hear your voice on the video. Enjoy your beautiful surroundings.

Well, perhaps September, October and May are my favourite months... transition months where the weather is calm and serene, the changing of the seasons. I find the colours of May, September and October to be really invigorating, especially in the kitchen garden!

It is good to see the changing of the seasons. I once lived in a climate that had very little seasonal change and I missed the seasons so much. I know many of us (myself included) complain about the very hot or very cold weather but still I love the seasons. Changing seasons make me feel alive and a part of our beautiful earth.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17738727252267659979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-62821319977296725202018-09-01T17:05:11.021+01:002018-09-01T17:05:11.021+01:00Been a lovely day here too.
