People talk about getting back to normal, when they should be looking at adapting to the new.
Sometimes things will never be the same as they were.
Learn to adapt; new may be good.

Daphne
There is a delicacy in Mother Nature, but she is stronger than all of us.
Just because you feel fragile, you have strength in you.
Believe in who you are and what you can be.
All things shall pass
Nothing lasts forever, take comfort in that.
However low you are feeling, things will get better.
Remember the frost and penetrating cold of the winter?
That passed, and so will this.
The Road Ahead
None of us know where our journey will take us.
Read the signs, follow the guidance.
All will be well; an adventure lies ahead!
Look Up
We spend our lives looking down.
Our heads are glued to our phones, looking down at the pavement to avoid eye contact.
We are missing out on so much.
Look up! There’s a whole other world to experience there.
Roots
We are made up from our ancestors.
Their decisions, their choices, their loves, their losses, all these things made them who they were, and so make us who we are.
What will you leave behind you?
What will be your legacy?
Herne
There is strength in all of us.
Feel that strength, that courage, that motivation inside you.
Channel that into your everyday life.
A-Z of Somerset: Part 4
Over half way through the alphabet, and it’s the last of four recaps of the alphabetical journey around Somerset so far. Lockdown 2021 means that I have been unable to complete the A-Z, but this brings us up to date with the stop offs so far.
Click on the links to see the full post for each village.
P is for Pilton.
The true home of the Glastonbury Festival, Pilton was something of a hidden gem I am glad I discovered.
Q is for Queen Camel.
Who’d have thought there was a Q but no J in the list. Well, had it not been given as a gift, there wouldn’t have been a Q either!
R is for Rodney Stoke.
Not another Somersetonian (Somersetter?), but this is one of eight villages in the county with something to be thankful for.
S is for Stanton Drew.
Another hidden gem, but not just the village. The Neolithic circle here rivals Avebury and Stonehenge.
T is for Tintinhull.
A manorial vicarage and stunning gardens, but no sign of Snowy the dog…
Twenty letters down, then, and five still to go. When life finds a sense of normality, the A to Z will continue, so watch this space.
A-Z of Somerset: Part 2
My recap of the villages of Somerset continues… Click on the links to read the full posts…
F is for Farrington Gurney.
Not an Edwardian detective, but a 12th century village in the north of the county.
G is for Godney.
When one village just won’t do, why not have three?
H is for Haselbury Plucknett.
Detective Gurney has to have a nemesis, so strike forth, sir!
I is for Isle Abbots.
A river names Isle, and countryside perfection.
K is for Kingweston.
There are no Js in Somerset, so, instead, the first of two villages beginning with a K.
Next week, it’s K (Mk II) to O…
Stile
The path ahead was clear, there was just one hurdle to cross and their destination would be within spitting distance.
A couple of steps, two up and two down, would lead them into the field and they would be away.
The hill looked ominous ahead of them, it was almost a mirage, they felt that, no matter how long they kept walking towards it, it would never be within reach.
But they also knew that they had to try, had to keep on going.
Just two steps up, and two steps down…
