Bluebells

After many months of inaction, I finally managed to drag my self outside.  Winter is over, Spring is spring and I came across  this beautiful scene:

Snowy Day

January 6th, 2010

Not leaving the house today. Alas, that doesn’t mean I don’t work, but there’ll probably be time for a snowman or two.

This is Cold Ash hill this morning – that’s a 1:10 hill, so there’s sod all chance of anyone getting up it unless they have a good 4WD car.

It’s still snowing.

So cold

frosty grimsbury

It’s been a chilly week in the UK, colder than it has been for a few years.  The low point was -12 just up the road from us in Benson, Oxfordshire.  This is Grimsbury Castle yesterday afternoon, with the hard frost still sticking to the branches of the trees.

Another flower picture, I know – this is boring. I bought a bunch of flowers yesterday, mainly for Jude to brighten up the house, but it also gives me some practice of taking macro pictures. It took about 50 shots on a Sunday morning to get one that I really liked. There’s a very fine line at F6.3

The Green green leaves of home.

I took this picture yesterday and was happy with it.

 Today I heard that my elder son, Luke, was getting bullied in school. It seems the fact that he is food phobic is a cause for laughter amongst some of his class mates. He is 5 years old, and yes he is a bit different WRT his eating, but I didn’t think he’d get abuse at this age – it seems a tad young.

Lets hope that things improve. I’ve read the inspiring stories to him, “faster, faster little red train” and the associated series. Doesn’t seem to work, Luke is a deep thinker. I hope he talks to me before this gets to be a problem.

I live in hope.
