"The sun rises in spite of everything"


Dear friends, I am short of energy at the moment and need to conserve what I have, so I'm taking this week off from the blog. 

I hope you're enjoying the spring, and those of you in the southern hemisphere, the autumn.

Here's a photo I took last week on a bike ride - fresh green leaves on a hawthorn, up on Longstone Edge:


April is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.

T S Eliot
