Things to be Thankful for!

To see a World in a Grain of Sand

And Heaven in a wild Flower

Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand

And Eternity in an hour.

William Blake , "Auguries of Innocence"

Pussy Willows in Spring!

• It was a day of firsts today. I saw my first pussy willows in bloom, watched as a flock of geese flew over towards the estuary and saw my first dandelion of the year. Small things but a sign of new birth!
• The builder sitting in his upturned wheel barrow in the sun drinking a cup of tea!
• Sitting under the pear tree amongst the daffodils with my son, drinking chocolate milk shake and munching a chocolate muffin!
