This has inspired me.<br /><br />It's hard to be in those in-between states, and just going on and doing something is often the thing to shift the state of being.<br /><br />Beautiful photos!

Here it is Ys, which was drowned for the sins of its princess Dahut, who murdered her lovers after she'd had her fun with them! I've often wondered if the bell thing was possible...<br /><br />PG - oh I often don't mind just letting it rest, just wanted to give myself a push this time. Sometimes I feel I've photographed and described everything worthwhile round here and don't have a lot to say for myself, but I do get bored with seeing nothing new on here!<br /><br />GJ - Thank you, always a pleasure to see you.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764296105901909328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-78647722255266911132010-03-17T04:05:02.688+01:002010-03-17T04:05:02.688+01:00Never, never be apologetic for your musings, Lucy ...Never, never be apologetic for your musings, Lucy -- you have as ever managed to make poetry of the mundane.Granny Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07302978680897139954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-6701681511299395042010-03-16T20:05:00.273+01:002010-03-16T20:05:00.273+01:00When I am not feeling inspired I am more content n...When I am not feeling inspired I am more content now to just wait, even if it means not posting for a week.

The Welsh, needless to say, thought it was a poor swap. But is it possible? WikiAnswers says yes but adds no explanation.

The brown tabby hiding behind the planter had high-tailed off in front of Mol, who found that provoking, and was spying on us from safety. He lives with a very nice woman and a dog of his own. The biscuitty ginger was in a field quite a way from any habitation and was obviously busy hunting, so acting a bit furtive.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764296105901909328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-51238882245521291262010-03-16T05:33:53.888+01:002010-03-16T05:33:53.888+01:00Your walk was beautiful and fun.

Without thinking of the word "gentleness," I went for a long walk yesterday and deeply appreciated that slightly balmier quality.<br /><br />Your comments about the absent neighbour's flowers remind me of my own beds. I have so many bulbs, still mostly just green shoots, and I am going to be gone nearly a month! Only the postman will enjoy them.
