Memory Lane

Crocus tournefortii, here a freshly opened first flower of the season, was the subject of my first ever blip - on 7 October 2011, nine years ago yesterday.   Almost perfect timing.

Life has been less than perfect over the intervening years (guess that's putting it mildly.)    I've been visited by family disability, had to give up a career of thirty years, lived through the end of a long marriage and I've said goodbye to the garden that was my haven throughout.  

However, through it all I have blipped.  Not every day but far more often than not.  Here I mostly reflect on the positive things that happen, for in focussing on the positive I find strength and likewise through the friendships and support found here.   Thank you.
