You are beautiful within,
You are beautiful without
-Matt Darey
An ocean of clouds and a sky full of emotion, Sunday appeared, and here it is.
Every time I look up, I see your kind everywhere, everyday, but it is never you.
My family links with France have loosened with fearful speed...the loss of my Grandfather last year, and present hospitalisation of Grandmother mean their dear old house is no more. She even had to let her beloved alsatian go to another home.
I 'feel' my late Grandfather so much lately.
My other, late Grandmother always said to me, 'time marches on' and so it does, increasingly so with each advance.
It's human nature to always look forward, but by so doing, we can forever look back too, if we so wish...by stepping forward we are hand-in-hand with the past, and shoulder-to-shoulder with the living...eyeing the future.
I love my French connection, but I am more English than ever.

Yesterday, I went with my family to the countryside south of Norwich, to watch them horse riding. Such a pleasant way to spend mid morning on a Saturday...watching the 'dapper chap' standing aside from the crowd, and the buxom lady who is always in complete control of her horse, who in turn is at complete ease with the rider.
The soft din, (yes, in Norfolk there is such a thing), of traffic on the southern bypass filters through the small row of leylandi, and the sun strikes between dense beech foliage, as the horses perform dutifully for 45 minutes. My family have been doing this for 11 months now, and have got the hang of it. Someday I will try it too.
This weekend I also revisited a couple of galleries in Norwich...the same that I entered last weekend with my special friend, ...not sure what I wanted or why I went there, just felt like being there.
I'm sure we can all relate to this feeling?
Also, the antique shops offered the distant chatter of Norwich City FC's woes...which bizarrely warmed me!!!
Delia will soon be out on the pitch yelling at...not the fans, but the players...where are you???
