Winter memories, winter song

Summer's come, and summer's gone A fireside Our chairs close together The world's moved on That's what they say But I, I remember an older way A simple life for you and me Seasons turning, wood fire burning We watched the flames dance higher We've always loved the simple things A match, a flame, a fire Now what of spring? And what of summer? When autumn leaves are turning, It's for winter, Hearth and home, That my heart is yearning Stoke the fire, bake the bread, make tea The kettle singing, for you and me A simple supper by the fire, With the one I love Thinking back on bygone times Forgotten hymns, And old love-song rhymes Body and soul, warmly knit together Seasons turning, wood stove burning We watched the flames dance higher We've always loved the simple things A match, a flame, a fire Now what of spring? And what of summer? When autumn leaves are turning, It's for winter, Hearth and home, That our hearts are yearning It's for winter, our hearth and home That our hearts keep yearning

the reason for my absence

Hello dear friends,

Apologies for my absence. It was my intention to start the New Year off with a blog post showing all the latest news from around here, but 2021 has not had a good start for our family.

My life has been in turmoil since the beginning of January with my Mum being diagnosed with stage 4 terminal cancer. As you can imagine this has been a huge shock for our family as it came on so suddenly and without warning. 

I am not sure when I will return to this little space. I simply am not getting the time to write or the motivation to do so.  Between spending time with my parents and trying to keep things going at our place, my life is pretty full right now.

I would love and appreciate if you could say a special prayer for my darling mum, she is so very precious to me.
