Today, 9th June,
I am celebrating…… again
10 years with you, my friends, online.
What a great 10 years Blogging. I loved every minute. It gives me smiles, happiness, joy, information, inspiration, thoughts, and love.
♥I am grateful for having such wonderful friends here and appreciate your time with me! ♥
A heartfelt thank you for being with me for all this time.
To the next 10 years !!! Cheers!
Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads

It was time to say good bye to my Double Bass adventure.
It has been picked up again to travel back home.
What a great adventure and experience it was!
It is an amazing instrument and not that easy. It made me admire and respect the Bass players who so easily improvise.
I had such a great time learning it
I loved every minute of it.
I can only recommend, if you want to try something you are passionate about... go for it.... have fun, you might love it, and you will always remember it.
Here are some Blues I learnt with ‘You Tube’ backing tracks:
To finish off a riff
Hope you enjoyed the odd Blues.
I have recorded more so I can always listen and remember the time with my Double Bass fondly.
A big THANK YOU to my sister who made this adventure possible.
It was time again to sort a bit in the attic.
I found more fun stuff from 50 years ago from my school life.
My homework Autumn 1971 – you might recognize some ???
The seasons 1971
As you can see I couldn’t draw well, so for some of the homework I asked my mum or my sister to draw for me. – Clearly July and August were done by my substitutes. 🙂
It is lovely to go down memory lane
I quite enjoyed school and was a very quiet and obedient pupil.
Happy is the person who knows what to remember of the past, what to enjoy in the present, and what to plan for in the future. Arnold H. Glasow
Time to move on …..

Just breathe, think less, love more, share often and smile always!
Wishing all a wonderful not so busy weekend!
This post is for my Cornish Blogger friend Sally.
Referring to my last post from Kew, Sally asked about the Haikus in Kew Gardens – she would love to read them all. I saw them written in Japanese.
I went back to Kew, back to the Haikus and looked closer.
Happy to say ….I did find a Haiku written in English 🙂
So here is one for you, Sally ♥

There is something so special in the early leaves drifting from the trees - as if we are all to be allowed a chance to peel , to refresh, to start again. Ruth Ahmed
Smile at strangers
Slow down
Say thank you
Give lots of compliments
Dress nicely
Wear perfume
Observe and listen
Be charming
Laugh
Wish others a lovely day
♥ Wishing you all a wonderful
and lovely Day ♥
Looking closer at an Agave at Kew Gardens, you can see clearly that every leaf has a unique pattern of the way it has grown from the inside.
The leaves have similar patterns but evey one is unique to its’ unfolding.
We are unique creatures, every one of us.
Be YOU. Don't be someone else. YOU are a unique individual. Be proud... rock it loud. Apolo Ohno
