It was only through God's grace and kindness that I stayed calm yesterday. That included providing me with a good friend who I knew wouldn't mind me letting off steam to her and a very pleasant walk in the sunshine in the afternoon.  Otherwise the day was, well, let's just say " a little trying"

I don't have time to work out why this picture keeps coming up on its side.  Anyway, yesterday I was able to start putting things away in the new bathroom cupboards, even tho' the bathroom isn't finished yet. That meant I could shift some other stuff into the other bedroom so I could clear my desk and get some card making done

The picture is just random today, I took it on my phone at Sutton Hoo.
The nice thing that happened yesterday was that one of the teenagers at church come and talked to me, of her own free will! And it was a very interesting conversation.  I always feel rather privileged when a "young person" feels I am worth talking to.

I overslept!  Off to church in a minute, looks like a lovely day for a walk.

Bank Holiday weekends don't usually mean anything to me as I am at home all the time anyway, but I am looking forward to a long weekend without bathroom fitters.  The picture is one of a group of 4 I did some years ago at our previous house to make a postcard to send to people when I was having a staycation, in olden times when I got paid a wage.

I took a photo of some may blossom as I went up to the post box yesterday and then did a bit of fiddling about with it.  The smell takes me back to the walk along the "cinder track" which was a short cut to primary school.  Not a walk I would allow a small child to do on their own these days, but things were different then.  I am tankful that God and my mother's prayers kept me safe.
