I'm a Believer.

Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent.  The six weeks leading up to the most solemn and the most joyful occasion in the Christian calendar. I am going to be using this coming six weeks to examine my relationship with God.

I am a "lapsed catholic" and I have issues. At this stage of my life I feel the need to examine, my beliefs, my conscience, my aspirations. This is going to bring up some painful stuff that is for sure. There are family issue's, religious issues, personal agonising, personal doubts, personal history.

What I do not have is doubts about the living Christ. I believe in Him wholeheartedly, I just need to know He believes in me.  So I am setting off on a journey tomorrow, a journey I hope will bring me everlasting peace and JOY in knowing God loves ME.

Good Times

We had a lovely afternoon in Liverpool today. I needed to visit a special bookshop there, so we went after I finished work. It was a cold but bright day. We enjoyed a leisurely stroll through the city, visiting a few of our favourite shops and cafe's, taking photo's along the way.

As the sun was setting we were beside the river yet again I felt the emotional pull of this fabulous city of my birth.The new Liverpool Wheel looks stunning as it glows int the darkness.My favourite picture of the day, my darling looking out across the Mersey.  Two of my loves together.

A Little Bunch of Sunshine

My first bunch off daff's of the year, they brighten up even the dullest of days.

Tulips

I visited a friend last week and she had a bunch of Tulips on her dining table. She started to apologise as they had "gone over".

I strongly disagreed with her. I think they are beautiful when they are fully open.
They are very pretty when closed but when the are fully open they are stunning.

I had the pleasure of visiting the Keukenhof Gardens in the Netherlands several years ago and so enjoyed the rainbow of tulips they have there, fields and fields if colour. I must take my dear husband there sometime soon.

Do what makes you happy today.

Joyful Little Flowers

Don't you just love Snowdrops? Such brave little flowers. 

The first to poke through the hard cold earth in the depth of winter.

I took these photo's in my mother in law's garden at the weekend.

They are such an inspiration to me.

If these little beauties can fight their way through the cold Scottish earth.

I can fight my way out of this malaise I find myself in at the moment.

Bonnie Scotland Here We Come

Off to the ancestral home for the weekend.

Have a good weekend me dear one's.

Blog Fatigue

Blog Fatigue has hit me good style, I am enjoying blog hopping, but as for writing I am all blogged out. I have noticed I have lost a couple of followers and that tells me I am a boring blogger too. So until I get my mojo back I am going to relax and just enjoy blog hopping. Maybe in a week or two, Spring will give me something to blog about.

Big Hugs Beautiful Blog Friends.
