Simple Pleasures

I have taken some pictures yesterday of things my son and I saw in a simple walk to the supermarket.....I will post them tomorrow when the computer allows me to upload them....
I have called this post "Simple Pleasures" as that seems to be the way i like living my life at the moment. Just taking a moment and taking everything in...things I wouldnt normally notice.
The plants and houses and things we noticed yesterday in our short walk was amazing.
I have also discovered i love walking in the rain and i have decided a pair of wellies is definately on my to buy list!
This rain lately then the intense sun we seem to get straight after makes everything so bright and alive.
I have also just recieved a text message from Andy (he has gone to visit his teenage daughter)....he says "suns shining and we're sitting on the swings in the park...like we used to when she was little".......I think thats beautiful that hes connecting in that way with her and himself....and me.
Enjoy the simple things in life....wherever you are and whatever your doing this weekend.

Rainy Night

I have decided to blog about life in London and all it brings. Some good,some bad.
You will have to forgive me if I start to rant........there are many things Im finding annoy me these days as Im getting older.
Well its a rainy night in London.......been raining on and off all day.
Im in one of those reflective moods. You know the type where you just sit and re-evaluate your life? I guess life could be better...hell I know it could....but there again it could be worse...and has been in the past.
We have had some drama today with the local police swarming around...... Some people may be shocked by this and the constant wailing of sirens but I guess Im kind of conditioned to it now having lived here all my life.
This is just an opening blog I hasten to add and I will try to post something insightful each day.....some days it may just be me moaning though about the kids or the price of things!
I hope someone reads this.......Or else Im really just talking to myself!
