Norwich Break – back in the cyber world

Norwich is a very old city in Norfolk with a beautiful Cathedral, a castle and a lovely towncentre with a market.

We had a house close to the citycentre to our disposal and discovered Norwich by foot daily.

We found a beautiful little garden ‘Plantation Garden‘ also called the Secret garden which was built at the site of a Chalk Quarry. Henry Trevor shaped the garden in 1855. It is an oasis for tranquility, we loved it every day!

Norwich Cathedral

In the Cathedral there was Dippy, the famous skeleton of the Diplodocus which is usually in London in the Natural History Museum. He is on tour and currently in Norwich.

It was very impressive.

Norwich has plenty of churches, we discovered though that many are not for worship. We found an art centre in a church, a bookshop with coffee shop and one was full of antiques for sale.

Norwich is a University city too, the – some cobbled- streets a lovely, the market beautiful and the little narrow lanes in between have old houses with quirky shops.

We have been in Norwich before (2017) and saw the Castle , blog post here

We bought some plants as a souvenir for the garden.

Let us find magic in all the little things in life. 

A Quick Break

….. a break with no internet …

That is what is on the agenda, after having worked rather hard lately.

Unfortunately I won’t be able to look at all posts, I will try on my phone though. 

I will be back in the cyber world soon  🙂

with a report of how much nothing I have done.

 

 

In the meantime I am hugging you all!

Declutter today

It is important that you declutter your home as we all know we keep too much.

Make space for the important things in your life.

Make space for things you really love and give you joy in life.

Decluttering emotionally is equally important.

Have enough space for the really important feelings and beliefs.

Why not have a go today to get rid of negative beliefs,

negative thoughts and emotions.

Start fresh every day with positive thoughts and beliefs.

♥Have a wonderfully, positive day! ♥

Never give up – like Nature

I was walking through a forest with trees fallen down.

Yet still more growth comes through the trunk which lies on the forest ground.

It reminded me that

Nature never gives up.

new beginnings

Every day is a new beginning.

Take a deep breath, smile

and start again.

If you don't give up on something
you truly believe in,
you will find a way.
Roy T. Bennett

You should never give up.
No matter how hard the situation is,
always believe that
something beautiful is going
to happen.

If you are in a situation like that at the moment,

please know that you are not alone and you are precious and loved.

My best wishes for you

and may the rise for you soon again.

♥♥♥ Sending hugs and comfort to you ♥♥♥

It is getting warmer

After a cold May with rain, hail, storms and the odd ray of sunshine

the weather realises that is is nearly June and needs to be warmer.

For the last 2 days it has been warmer and

flowers, bushes all really start to bloom.

I love it.

Lilac is in full bloom and smelling amazing.

These are my amazing finds during a walk in a park.

Poem

The Magic Box

I will put in my box

Four lovely summers
A mouth watering chocolate land
Another world which is amazing

I will put in my box

A second sun which doesn't give out light
An ocean which has five wishes for every person
Water that dances when someone goes in it

I will put in my box

The sweet sound of the swooshing sea
A snowman that can survive in Summer
Someplace where the rain never falls

I will put in my box

A place where the rain always stays
A non polluted world
A never ending rain forest

My box is fashioned from gold and has a secret under the lid and under the inside floor

I shall surf in my box

On the lovely ocean and see it dance in front of me and catch some fish for dinner.

I found this poem in the attic while sorting out.

It was written by my son when he was 9 years old.

The time has come

It is time for rest,

it is time for fun,

it is time for enjoyment,

it is time to laugh,

it is time to dance,

it is time for just doing nothing – sometimes,

it is time to learn,

it is time to enjoy the world,

it is time to change.

I am retired.

What a feeling!

I am grateful to know that I have made a difference to 

the company and people I worked with.

I leave with a sense of achievement and happiness. 

 

 

Let’s celebrate life ♥ Each Day ♥

Each day is precious

Each day gives a new start

Each day gives new opportunities

Each day is a gift

We easily forget in our daily routine that

Each day needs to be celebrated.

When you arise in the morning

think of what a privilige it is to be alive –

to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love!

Marcus Aurelius

 

Wishing you an amazingly awesome day!
