'What's cooking?', I'm posting a picture of yesterday's extraordinary sunset (in Devon at least).

And here are some pictures of an outing Frog and I took last Thursday to what is turning into our favourite county: Somerset. Not Burrow Mump this time but the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal.

Autumn Cottage Diarist talks about being in a place of unknowing after her beloved cat was rushed to the vet. I'm in my own place of unknowing since my 87-year-old mother was rushed to hospital about two weeks ago, and I've tried to blog about it three times, but without success. I feel better now she's back at home, and that I've spoken to her on the telephone, and that I've arranged that Frog and I will visit in a couple of weeks' time. She lives four hours' drive away from us so it's difficult to give unplanned help. Thankfully I have four siblings closer at hand and they and their spouses/partners are doing sterling work providing her with round-the-clock attention.
So nice to think we were sharing and photographing the same beautiful sunset...sometimes it's just too hard to write about scary stuff so close to the heart....go gently on yourself...you are doing your share in your own way.
ReplyDeleteMy sister and I drove past Burrow Mump this afternoon - never heard of it before and she told me the story of the curled dragon below it - marvellous...TX
Thank you Trish, and I love the thought that my blog maybe introduced you to Burrow Mump - it's a magical place.
