England | Starry Sky Journal

Although Julie Andrews suggests we start at the very beginning, I am jumping into our English adventure somewhere later. These pictures sum up the past few days which have been thoroughly exhausting, mentally and physically, but which ended with this – a little girl at the side yard fence, showing me which one she likes best. The mares are named now (never mind what names they may have had previously ; )) and have already begun to hurry over when they see Moira come outside, knowing she comes bearing gifts of apples or carrots.

Our long, tiring journey ended here, in the garden of an old Georgian farmhouse on an organic grain farm. It is very like being dropped into a James Herriot novel and I feel incredibly blessed for the peace found in the evenings exploring this rambling place. I hope you will enjoy exploring with us.

This makes my inaugural England post from our whirlwind house hunting trip. Such a jam packed visit that the only tourist pictures I got were from the car. Since there are a remarkable number of roundabouts in that fine country and since driving on the other side of the road in traffic made things just a smidge confusing at first, I had lots of opportunities to get up my shots as we circled the college area moving ever closer to the exit each round lol.

April was quite a month let me tell you. Catching my breath just a bit this week as we enter round two here in May. Lots of challenges converging simultaneously, the sort which tend to make one's hands wring and feet pace. What to do? What to do?

I listen to my gypsy friend who reminds me - just do the next thing.

I hope you have a friend like that. I hope you too remember to just do the next thing when the water gets choppy. And maybe take a few pictures too. I think it helps <g>
