Hope

..... of better things to come?

I was on a furlough day today and had an early Samaritans shift. Three hours of listening to very troubled, sad people. It is a great leveller and puts my worries into perspective.

Home for lunch then a walk - I remembered to stretch this time, but still ached when I got home. I spotted this tiny rhododendron bud which seems a bit premature? The promise of better things to come and not just horticulturally speaking I hope?
