Yule party.

I haven’t really taken part in any kind of blog party before, I am always too late to sign up for them.  After the fun loads of peeps seemed to have at Samhain blog parties I thought it was high time I got my act together and got involved with a Yule party.

The thing is though, I am never sure what I want to write so it kind of leaves me feeling nervous.  But then I noticed my friend Sally at The Village Witch was hosting a Yule blog party and I signed up right away.

You too can join in the fun, details can be found here:

A day out for renewing my spirit day.

Yesterday was a truly awful day, my fibro was so bad that with the exception of having a bath and toilet visits I actually couldn’t manage to get out of bed.  I feared we would have to cancel our day out because I felt so bad.
But this morning came around and I felt much better, so our day out was a go.

We went to a place called Finglandrigg Wood which is only a few miles from where we live.  I really love woodlands because there is always that sense of elementals being all around.  I always feel so alive when I get amongst nature – I am a Taurean so the earthiness of a wood or forest is really appealing to me.
I took loads of photos, some will be no good because I am just a newbie with the photo taking and sometimes I get blurry images, or my husband walks in front of me – this actually happens a lot!

I was really disappointed with this though, I expected something a bit bigger.
