Have taken the afternoon off today as the boiler man is coming to service the Rayburn, and traveling home on the bus at a different time of day was lovely. The earlier grey clouds have given way to beautiful blue skies coming towards us from Ireland, with just little drifts of white cotton wool tails to break up the blue. The bus whizzes through the villages of Ballabeg, Arbory and Colby – ( having no speed limits on some of our roads allows the drivers to put their foot down at times) all slightly inland and across the fields I can see a sheet of silver on the horizon - the sea -sparkling and shimmering in the bright sunlight. The sun may still be quite low in the sky but it sure is flooding the landscape with gold! And oh such fun, there gamboling in the fields we have lambs!! Now I know spring is really on its way!

When I do finally get back to Purt Chiarn I discover that actually it is quite breezy and facing me is a turquoise & jade sea – with little white tops to the waves. A beautiful colour combination – not unlike the Hockney Bead one in the last batch of Dolly Beads. The breeze is quite fresh as I walk up the promenade and overhead I can hear the gulls screaming and calling as they wheel and glide, oh so gracefully, on the thermals on Bradda Head the white of their breasts and wings showing clearly against the blue of the sky. It’s a beautiful day so I hope the boiler man is quick – then I can go for a walk to enjoy this unexpected bonus afternoon.

Gorgeous inspirational writing again
And I love that the water was like that Dolly bead - I can see it
Just beautiful writing -- I do hope it finds its way into an album someday!
