Since I saw you last?
A dollop of snow, a dose of influenza and a dowager granny visit....
On the first morning of the big snow-fall I opened the window onto a very hushed orchard...I have been consciously photographing the NEW Lane every season to capture the changes and record our new home in all her guises.
I thought it would be fun to show some of them now, as the contrast is so amazing...
..and then the influenza gripped me and I disappeared into a haze of paracetamol and hot water bottles. Snowed in and alone as Mr.Lane was stuck in Manchester...dreams of the rainbow drops...and some dedicated nursing by the Boodle...
Then Granny came, accompanied by Magpie and Mr.Fox, this was very very special. A chance to pay back an amazing lady for all the hundreds of kindnesses shown me throughout childhood and beyond.
(you can read a little bit more about my Granny here)
And now quiet, as the sun begins to set I remember I wanted to show you the crocus on the drive.
Have a wonderful weekend,
I have missed you and am off to catch up on all the goings on in your worlds.

Your photos are so beautiful, I don't enjoy the cold but we are so lucky to have the changing seasons and can appreciate the beauty of each one.

I'm all teary eyed....your home is so beautiful! I'm so happy for you! =]
ReplyDeletenot happy for that nasty flu, though, but it looks like everything's moving along nicely and it's left you?
and crocuses? I thought that I might just tout how we're having quite the early spring, here. I was saving that windy video for a windy day in March and was JUST thinking that today might, actually, be the day - spring is THAT early. but, you have something growing and we're still completely brown, here. Well, I'm not joking when I say that you photo of crocuses gives me hope that they do really still exist!
Take care of yourself, then!

Your photos are beautiful, it's such a lovely idea to view the same spot over different seasons. They would look lovely framed.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you have been a poorly girl though, hope the magic chocolate helped!

I do hope you are all better now. Look at all that lovely snow, the photos are amazing great to see the difference.
ReplyDeleteGosh - that is a change Sarah, but both are just as beautiful......in there different ways though I'm sorry to hear you were ill during all the white stuff as the only thing I would say missing from your pictures is a jolly old snowman.
ReplyDeleteTake care and have a lovely weekend.
