Uplifting turn of events
After coming to terms with my broken washing line I went up into the field in search of plums, well, actually the trees are dripping this year and I thought I'd better pick some to give away. Anyway I suddenly realised that the prayer flags were letting it all hang out too. Blowing prayers on the wind, it almost made me want to make my own, these have come from Tibet or Nepal or somewhere. These have lost their colour now as they been in situ for quite some time but nonetheless I thought I'd take a photo of them to share. As this is not a blog about plums I've not included the pictures I took of the dripping fruit. Can't seem to upload it... maybe I've done too much writing in this bit. I'll publish this bit then try doing the picture.
Washing Line crisis
Unfortunately due most probably to being under stress, hard work and age my number one line broke in the middle yesterday. I now need to take a trip to our local hardware shop and see wht they have to offer regarding replacement lines. This picture shows the sad state of affairs with a redundant prop lying on the floor between the ends of the line.
Baby's christening gown
I found a really lovely 'at least 58yrs old' christening gown at the local car boot sale on Monday, washed it, the only room left on the line was close to the apple tree. I've chosen the black and white image to show you at it seems more in keeping with the item and makes it look a bit more timeless.
