Some pictures to celebrate Spring, which has come in early and lusty this year to the area around my home village.

A common wild flower in these parts, I'm happy to say.

I
love the expressions of the ewes centre left and bottom right.

| Hi there |
Confident lambs walk towards the man with a wolf on a string.

| Quiet flows the Creedy |
Now the winter swells have fallen, the doggy playground of Creedy Beach has been revealed, albeit altered by the surge of the river.

| The Promise of Summer |
The entrance to a garden, with glimpses beyond, is always fascinating. This is West Sandford; the cobble setts are quite common in the parish
Hello, Ray... I have been thinking of you as I have gone through my second reading of Pip's books. I wanted to let you know how much she meant to me. I loved her stories, I loved her voice. I wrote her a couple of fan letters back in 2005 and she wrote back on one of her lovely little cards decorated with a rose. As I recently re-read her books, I thought of you. It seems that I ought to let you know that she is still touching people with her lovely humor, her brave sadness and her deep sense of the right thing to do. Grief is a funny old thing. I know how physical it is as I lost my husband suddenly three years ago. I respect the way you worked at handling the loss. I am so sorry for your loss. I just wanted to let you know that I think of her with appreciation and respect. And... I love the photos you posted here. sincerely, trish kuleto
