After a wet, miserable winter of wading through mud on my Sunday morning trail runs, today made me remember why I do it. The warm sun on your face, stunning country and sea views, saying hello to the cows and horses en route and enjoying the smell and sight of the wild flowers. Sunday morning runs are my time, helping me to prepare for the week ahead.
I love the vivid, dramatic colours in this photo, the menacing grey sky, a bright green hill and little white house. This was the scene from a family meet up to celebrate Mr S’ dad 86th birthday. After a lovely family lunch with Grandad and my in-laws we all explored the beach and harbour and thankfully the grey skies did not turn to rain.
The sun arrived this week and we have been outdoors ever since. This week’s photo was taken earlier today on a family bike ride in the forest. It was beautiful to see the rays of sunshine flooding through the trees and to admire the shades of green lighting the forest.
This week’s photo was taken on a harbour tour in Portsmouth on Wednesday. The ship is HMS Queen Elizabeth, the navy’s newest aircraft carrier. It’s size is incredible and the engineering and technology on board mind boggling.
A flashback to the 70s today as I’m sorting through old photos at my parents’ home. I have seen sepia, black and white and colour images but nothing quite beats the 70s for the colours and patterns. The curtains, the wallpaper, the dress, I think the carpet was bright and swirly too!!
