Maybe it's Kate's choice. She must have SOME privacy. I respect that.
The same as Charles hasn't indicated what sort of cancer he has. Just that he has another cancer found when he had prostate cancer. As wife of someone who has had cancer and mother to another who has had personal operations, it's not really anyone else's business. Just my opinion...
Beautiful post on so many points. Love this, " It’s possible to hear me moving through the house." I can relate! We, too, hoped to find an Endeavor parallel or substitute after we (sadly) finished the last episode. Alas, we haven't. We also tried watching Inspector Morse but couldn't get into it. We miss Endeavor. The sunflowers are gorgeous, by the way, and the photo of the birds, spectacular.
Here in the U.S., when summer's intensity has sucked away all of my reserves, I like to think of those sporadic days of respite, when the humidity lifts and the temperatures drop, as nature's way of telling me to "hold on, hold on, you can do this, just hold on!" I hope all your plant and animal friends make it through! Surely they are buoyed by your conversations and cheerleading!
I'm so relieved for you to have found your missing song. It is a stunning piece, one I can't recall hearing before. What struck me most, though, was the comments. So many others who say they spent years searching. Apparently, you are in good company, Prue! I do hope you find your way back to the hope of a new season, whatever comes.
We loved Inspector Lewis. My spouse wants me to step back to Morse...not sure I can handle his sarcasm and bitterness. Currently watching Broken wood and The Tourist and awaiting Call the Midwife!
In Ohio, I am loving seeing the daffodils poking up through the leaves and occasional snow dusting! The blue birds have showed up at the feeders and the male finches are beginning to deepen their yellow feathers. Of a less pleasant note but an amusing one, the male skunks are on the prowl for their lady loves. A reminder...don't pet the black and white "kitties"!
Blue skies, sunflowers, books, and the beach...you've brightened this cold, dark rainy morning where we are patiently waiting for springtime. Thank you!
Another lovely post, Prue - I'm sorry about the crispy leaves of your hydrangea! I just pruned ours last week - I always time it wrong and end up with no flowers, but I'm hoping that as I snipped off ONLY the brown, dead flower heads from last year and didn't go near anything that resembled a bud I might just get away with it. Here's hoping!
I am a huge fan of Agatha Christie - I have the dubious gift of an appalling memory for literature, so can read and re-read any of her novels and still be surprised at whodunit! I am always astonished when I get to the end, and have to flick back through to find all of Christie's very clever breadcrumbs which I'd missed following all the way through the story. I must seek out that Allan Carr documentary - thank you for the recommendation.
Mum tells a great story of seeing Robert Lindsay as Richard III in London's West End many years ago - to her horror he'd picked HER to look at for the entirety of his opening speech. She said she wished her seat in the stalls had folded up with her in it! 🤣
I love when plants and grass are personified. They do take on different personalities with every season— just like us humans. 😎🪴

Not long until autumn now. Hang in there. 🤗🤗

Sooooo much rain here in the UK this winter Prue! It has been a long, long few months. But we have oyster catchers here, too! Isn't that amazing 🐚
You capture your experience and mood and that of the land so well, Prue. You captured the soulful nature of life beautifully.
Ooh, Endeavour sounds like an interesting series. I might check it out. Thanks for mentioning it!
