Let's hope that scientist is right and we are in for another nice summer. It sounds like you have some ideas for writing projects, allowing a little thinking time is a good thing. Photos can be a great source of inspiration can't they.<br />Suzanne Furnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00908200156114453054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669601964389987165.post-83203114251834491922014-03-09T20:37:09.744+00:002014-03-09T20:37:09.744+00:00It's beautiful weather at long last, Penny, I ...It's beautiful weather at long last, Penny, I hope you enjoyed your walk.

Great stuff and I know my human is most flattered. He thanks you.<br /><br />I'm sure that photos will most certainly inspire your writing. I tried to convince Gary about a thinking phase. No luck with that. Arf! Arf!<br /><br />On a pawsitive note, it was rather sunny and pleasantly warm on the weekend.

I think there are more and more places that are putting up exhibitions and festivals re pre the Great War ... <br /><br />I was always amazed to think that where the land has been changed due to the excess bombs being dropped to the west of Penzance .. they were meant to go in the sea! Now the craters have been naturally taken over and shelter many sub-tropical plantings .. and eg palms which rise high above the crater!<br /><br />There will be lots of history this year .. I don't know whether Eastbourne is doing anything .. there's an Ancestors exhibition in the Redoubt .. which is fascinating but goes back to Roman times ...<br /><br />Cheers and I hope the family enjoy the festival ..

Colds are the worst, because you always feel you should fight through it when you really want to hide away, wrap yourself in a blanket and declare yourself 'properly poorly'.

Hope you've managed to see some sun by now :-) I'm pretty spoiled most of the time, because Hubby works from home a lot, so he's always around - any problems we sort out together, but on my own I'm a ditherer.
