2019 – a year of many changes and new chances. It was sometimes as difficult to pick one photo per month as it was for my grandson to select the best reed. That at least suggests I’m improving with photography though still a long way to go but that is no bad thing – so here’s to 2020! And a Happy New Year to all.
January ~ deciding to say farewell to London after 26 years
February: Revisiting old haunts in the East of England
” You are neither here nor there,
A hurry through which known and strange things pass “
Seamus Heaney
March – comfort in close family amidst the cold winds of South Yorkshire
April ~ Surprises in the new garden
” If you were here,
I’d pluck this trembling globe to show
how beautiful a thing can be
a breath will tear away. “
Jean Nordhaus
May – Exploring further afield in these Northerly counties on pilgrimage to bluebell woods
June ~ London a high speed train ride away & some delightful visitors
” It is better to be a young June-bug than an old bird of paradise”
– Mark Twain “
July ~ a tropical paradise in the North of Wales!
August ~ everything in the garden is rosy
“ I love the hay grass when the flower head swings
To summer winds and insects happy wings ” John Clare
September ~ revisiting Ramsgate and recalling happier times “
October ~ nothing better than Jim to cheer me on a sad anniversary
“yet still I know
how senseless this sense of absence
since spirit is a boundless thing”
November – reconnecting with Cornwall and retracing an old and valued friendship
December ~ sunset on the village duck pond
” How like a winter hath my absence been
From thee, the pleasure of the fleeting year! “
W. Shakespeare
