Morning Vista

I've been enjoying taking the time out lately to look through my lens at the garden in the mornings.

I've come to really look forward to going outside and searching for a great shot.

Here are a few I've taken lately...


An afternoon shot- Pig in sun
Beautiful Autumn colours!

: Today was spent de-cluttering! I have a real need at the moment to de-clutter everything! I started with my bedroom a couple of weeks ago...

I have a real need at the moment to de-clutter everything!
I started with my bedroom a couple of weeks ago, and yes it has taken me that long to clean out my wardrobe, under my bed and beside my bed. I had a pile of books beside my bed (that I wasn't reading might I add) that was half a metre high (if you stacked them all ontop of one another- they were actually in a few piles but it sounds more dramatic when I say they could have been a metre high!)
So, today I cleared out my dressing table. It was full of loads of things that were completely unrelated to what should be in a dressing table. I found dirty tissues (Ew!), bits of crumpled paper, bent out of shape hair pins (ones that could no longer be used), used (dead) batteries, tampons (not used- of course!), and all manner of things. What I have left in there now is jewellery and hair clips, nothing else. It feels so good to have this job done! I am rewarding myself with time sitting on my bed with Silva,
 looking out the window at the waning afternoon light...Bliss :)

Our Fleeting Lives

Hello everyone! It's been a while since I've been here...

I have written in the past mostly about my animals' antics and other such things. I have decide to also talk to you about lots of other things too. 

This blog is all about my experience of family life, work, being a woman, and above all the love of this fleeting experience we call life.

Our lives are so full and busy that we are often unable to notice that it is passing us by, that’s why I call it fleeting.


I love to try everyday to slow time down. It is a challenge that I like to set for myself and, it is a difficult one at that.

How do you manage your busy lives?

The Sun!

Isn't it wonderful to see the sun after all this rain? The earth is loving the good soak it has had over the last ten days or so but, it is time for the sun to shine!
Happy Sunday everyone!
The magpies are singing their song, the flowers are all raised up to meet the sun's gaze and the air is crisp.
What else could make this day anymore beautiful?
