It's been so long since i was here last
and oh how I have missed you all!
But I have felt such a need, these past weeks
just to sit quietly, to listen & to watch. 

My precious inspiration went into hibernation.
It was i think, waiting for the dust of hectic summer
to settle back into place, before peeping out again!

Whilst the sun was still high in the bright blue sky,
we went a-hunting for my inspiration.
Along the way discovering such heart lifting delights as
ancient Celtic carvings at Tullie House,
hilltop carvings at Dalbeattie &Kirroughtree,

we hiking over the patchwork, heather strew hills,
hunting & found these glorious scottish landscapes
that stretched as far as our eyes could see,

the wonderful dusky change of hues that is,
my absolute favourite of them all, Autumn.
I am at last, feeling refreshed & full of ideas again
i have found my old, dear friend, my inspiration!

but just before i go
i just have to share the utmost highlight of my days.
The picture above shows just a few of the delights
i discovered at the wonderful & delicious exhibition
my precious Mr O took me to see
( i wish you could have come too!)
"The truth about faeries"
oh my, i have so much catching up to do with you all !
