Today is my mother’s birthday.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MUM.
I am very grateful to my mother for teaching me manners, and what to look for in a two-year-old colt.
I gave her a red blanket for the bed, a lavender and hop pillow, and a biography of Ruby Walsh.
‘Oh, Ruby,’ she said. It was only a paperback, but it was easily her best present. She really loves that man like a son.
Too tired now for more words, but here are some pictures.
This is the wood I drive through when I go up to see the ponies:
Garden:
Red and Myfanwy:
Pigeon, doing her sphinx impersonation:
Where the hill should be:
The weather, as you can see, continues gloomy. The seven day forecast says: cloud, cloud, cloud, light rain, cloud, cloud, cloud. Ah, June in dear old Blighty.
How wonderful you can buy a present to your mother she really values. Books can be like that?
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures, i love the green moss on the forest floor. Ah, sometimes I miss the country.

Oh, I forgot to say - could you redo the link on your blog roll that you've kindly included to my blog? It shows a post from 3 months ago, but I've posted quite a few times since. I think this may be because I changed my address to www.helenahalme.com from www.helenahalme.blogspot.com ?
ReplyDeleteMany thanks,

The Pigeon's sphinx portrait is priceless. And Myfanwy, very winsome. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteHope you're beginning to recover.
