Trip to the beach

I had a little time to myself this morning and thought I would take a drive down to the beach. This beach is at Goderich  Ontario and is beautiful any time of the year. There are many sections and lots of different types of beach to walk,… Continue Reading “Trip to the beach”

A Host of Daffodils

I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o’er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host of golden daffodils;  Beside the lake, beneath the trees,  Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. W. Wordsworth And very, very… Continue Reading “A Host of Daffodils”

A second no recipe cake. In which I don’t follow the instructions anyway…

Catching up

I was really, really hoping for some sun this weekend. All of this cloudy snowy weather makes for dull pictures. I think there was sun for about 5 minutes on Sunday. I was not outside then… I am desperate to get some crafty things… Continue Reading “Catching up”
