Hey Jo. I too marvelled at a Tiger Moth at the end of last week - aren't they incredible? It's the second one I've seen this summer - can't remember seeing them before. And they sit and sun themselves for a long time so you get to wonder at their amazing colours - perfect x

I get such a thrill the first time I see one every summer, they are so stunning. I first noticed them about three years ago and they how appear every year xxx

Really enjoyed reading this Jo and thank you for mentioning my page. I sat watching the stormy clouds for ages yesterday evening. What a spectacle! I fully relate to separating from the thoughts we have about being 'lazy' when we're just enjoying living life at a different pace. I want time to allow my brain to slow down, so I have space and clarity in my head. I've absolutely no desire to be overly busy or to rush around anymore. Enjoy your week and take care xx

Thanks so much for the mention, Jo. It's good to see you writing again. Just being out in nature is balm to my inner peace. I find it all pretty awesome. You found so much in your garden to photograph!

We're fortunate to have a large lounge window to look through each evening. We have a huge cherry blossom tree that we planted on the lawn forty years ago. At certain times we can watch the sunset, or just the leaves moving in the breeze/wind against the pale light of the sky - there's a certain mesmerizing slowing down in my head at those times.

i love getting up in the morning and finding a post from you, from "across the pond," which now has me wanting to go down the rabbit hole to find out where that phrase came from. Like having a conversation over the breakfast table.

Only in my case, it would be over a very caffeinated tea! (smile)

You are exactly on my wavelength, dear Jo!

I've not been around for a bit - sorry - and I've just remembered that e-mail I'd received about your new 'Stack! Heading on over right now. xxx
