Watermelon Birthday Cake

Some recent pictures from our wee world... (click to enlarge in gallery view!)





















Words   
June.  
Arriving in blossom, aging me and many a year.
A trip to the beach is all that I craved.
Days pass by driecht, wind and rain.
Ups and downs.  Kicks and a blow.  
Sank in a moment. 
It can't rain all the time though. 
Again, we up and we move.
A car journey steals pennies saved.  
Trainers worn to climb, bare feet wade.
We make our way to the beaches of our childhoods.
 We melon for cake and indulge in a munch.
Spying at life through glass zooming lenses.
Playing our songs on our wooden instruments.
A braw mild day started with cloud.
Bloomed into sunshine and warmth til the night.
Things will get better and the sun will shine light.
July sneaks up, I'm gonna fill it with melons.
Oats, yoga and badminton, my kinda heavens.
Dreams of blue sky.
Please, please, pleeeeease July!

The Waggle Dance

Some recent pictures from my wee world... (click to enlarge in gallery view!)

































ZZZZZ

Regina, from ZZZZZ, The Outer Limits Series 1 Episode 18, 1964.
If you have not seen the original 1960's tv show The Outer Limits, I suggest you give it some of your time!  :)  I especially loved the episode ZZZZZ, I wonder why!?  :)  If you follow my blog and have done for a while then you know I have been enjoying studying Bee Keeping at a local college.  I chose to study beekeeping because I have a love and interest of bees and more generally, the environment and our planet's health. :)  I wanted to know if there was anything I could do in my lifetime that would help not only the bees but the planet too.  I adore so many flowers and pollination is important!  So many reasons to love bees!

The college grounds are incredible!  So many amazing things about this place, I could go on and on but hopefully you enjoyed my pictures and all you really need to know is, I adore bees and the hives are buzzing!  I'm gutted it's over but it's helped me in particular ways that make me happier! Also when we are on our walks now I scream 'BEES!' when passing particular fields of flowers like the rapeseed above and rush into them madly to start hunting for them with my camera :)  So now I'd pretty much consider myself a crazy cat and bee lady lass, and that's just braw.

What else did May 2012 treat me with?  Tasty watermelons for breakfast :) Yummy greens, salads and fruit snacks like carob smoothies and chunks of pineapple :) mmmm..... Embroidery skills increasing, sewing in general skills increasing, (this dress was a floor length and wrist length number from the 70's) :)  Short hair cut :) and eventually days after days of sunshine for a whole week more or less so I got to go for a few walks and witness all the green and floral landscapes!! :)
 
Hope the sun is shining for you!
