I have been trying to work out how to put one of my own photographs as a background but it was beyond me! Still, I thought this was very me! I hope you had a restful night and I'm really pleased that you enjoyed my post.

Our house is full of books, in every room, thousands of them. And still we buy more. Not to sell, but to keep these days.<br />And I have that expanding waistline problem too, as do most of my friends the same age - 60ish.<br />But never mind, it was fun getting it!<br />Lovely blog, especially taken with the stained glass to the side... I love stained glass and were there any classes that weren't two hours away, would probably learn how to do it! The thing with living in the sticks is... living in the sticks! Love it though, despite some inconveniences, like lack of bookshops and decent craft shops.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445733437091292485.post-30653690634393705382011-11-30T07:33:04.064+00:002011-11-30T07:33:04.064+00:00Hello Carol, Franka and Lena, Thank you all for yo...Hello Carol, Franka and Lena, Thank you all for your kind comments, I'm glad you like my photographs and poems.

I do try to stop and look every day but it's all too easy to get caught up in the bustle of life. I like your description of the wind outside, I can just imagine it! <br />I'm just finishing housework before embarking on a great bake. We have a cake stall at my day centre next week and I need to make a start...I do wish you were nearby and could give me a hand with some special Italian cakes!

When I lived there, in a city, I never took notice of nature, taken as I was with my studies and my very busy social life. We never went to the countryside. Nature, to us, manifested its beauty through the blue sky and the sea, which was beautiful.<br /><br />When I came to England I stated looking at nature and all the changes which happened, with every season. Wonderful! And, when I went back to Italy, I was able to look at the countryside with different eyes. I discovered the beauty of apple and cherry blossom, almond trees, the massive vinyards I never noticed before, the olive groves... I "saw" birds! So much beauty!<br /><br />It's windy, outside, as I write. I can hear the hedges shaking and I can see the tree branches doing the quickstep with the wind! <br /><br />Yes, Jane... it's really beautiful!<br /><br />Thank you for a beautiful post!<br /><br />ANNA<br /><br />XXAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15531642906387702641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445733437091292485.post-17943282109150243642011-11-26T15:14:40.226+00:002011-11-26T15:14:40.226+00:00Hello Bonnie, I can't believe I've not vis...Hello Bonnie, I can't believe I've not visited you before, I loved your blog!

Actually October and November are my favorite months of the year. Possibly because of the region where I live. It is when I know for sure the heat of the long summer has passed and life will slow a bit. <br /><br /> Your posts are always a treasure to read.
