Sunday arrival

Posted by Tania Kindersley.

Two hundred and fifty miles went in a flash. The dawn over the Cumbrian hills was lucent and lambent and luminous and lustrous, and all the words beginning with L. It made me stare in wonder.

I am now at the house with all the cousins. One is playing the harmonica, one is doing a special dance, one is typing, one is watching me do this. Oh, and now there is singing too, along to the Old Crow Medicine Band. The godson has been doing creative things whilst I was away. He shows me. I am impressed.

I am too tired from the road to write much, but I always feel very lucky to come back to such a happy house. It is not sticky, treacly, perfect, Waltons happy. It is muddly, funny, unexpected, human happy.

I just really, really like a house where people sing at tea-time.

 

This is where I am.

  3. Good heavens, it looks so peaceful. Have a wonderful time.

    Is The Pigeon's friend a fella? Because he(?) sure looks noble, and they make a handsome pair. If not, then, they're so pretty . . . ;-) Either way, glad she has someone with whom to speak canine.

  8. Welcome to the South... lovely to know you and the Pigeon are not so far away... she looks very settled and relaxed in the company of her cousin (cousin or cousinne?)...

    Look forward to see more of the Spring down here from your eyes - Enjoy your stay!
