Beauty in Black and White

It's just under a month to go until we leave the Kent countryside for the Silicon valley of India. I so want to capture the essence of England but with my mind in a whirlwind I can't seem to connect with my imagination. I feel numb with the unknown ahead of me.

Tomato Soup

There's no better comfort food on a cold winters day, than a bowl of tomato soup.

Blue Sky

After a week of pretty much grey skies, today the clouds dispersed to reveal blue skies and sunshine. The snow is melting quickly and I can see the spring bulbs dotted around the garden! Last year I planted many more bulbs I do hope I get a chance to see their display before we leave! In the mean time I'll enjoy the bunch I purchased from the local shop.

Is it Art?

Yesterdays Saatchi Gallery visit exhibiting 'New Art from Germany' had me puzzled and shaking my head in confusion. I love creativity, sculptures, great paintings fine and modern. But there is some 'art' I just can not connect with and I seem to see more and more of it these days. They say trends go full circle. I do hope they are right.

Rockin' Robin

The South East had a wonderful dusting of snow over the weekend. However, it melting fast. I think the birds are very happy about this as their feeders are accessible again!

The Little Things

Although there are blue skies and bright sunshine, it's freezing here in Kent. Whilst walking around the garden to see what damage the frost and cold weather had done my spirits were lifted by the sight of a few snowdrops. So small but big on impact.

Feeling Blue

Today the packers carefully finished packing up the contents of our home for its long trip to India. We will follow in around 6 weeks time. Walking around the house today seeing all my worldly possession wrapped and boxed in cardboard made me realise how complex, materialistic and cluttered our lives are. Tomorrow the house will be pretty much empty and we will live with just basics for a time. How cleansing that will be.
