the many colours of spring

a little colour on a grey day during the short walk home from a hospital appointment. it really brightened up my day. urban nature is so precious when you live in a city.

can you spot the ant and the jenny long legs?

spring in glasgow=neer cast a cloot till may is oot (an old scottish saying)

spring is here. along with the odd ray of sunshine there is plenty of rain, wind and even hailstones (yup, i got caught in a storm with hailstones battering against my face!) just another typical scottish spring. a trip to my allotment to see the spring flowers. soon it will be time to plant some lettuce, herbs and kale.

baby it's cold outside

new for little folk (and big folk) at vik prjonsdottir including the baby seal.

happy new year and gratitude

happy new year, i started mine with much gratitide for all the lovely christmas gifts i was given by friends and family, feeling very lucky indeed. people know well by now my love for orla kiely and i was given not one but two beautiful orla scarfs and some pillow cases, an amazing neon pink scarf too, jewellery, pretty soaps, the amazing hand made home book that i can't stop looking at the amazing photos, chocolates, the downton abbey dvd, and amoungst other things a ticket to go see john prine with my sister. yes, very lucky.

i am looking forward to hopefully a slightly easier year than last year filled with creativity, joy, laughter, love, peace, and better health. i wish you all the same, and much more. thanks to everyone who stopped by my wee blog last year or my flickr i plan to make it a little more inspiring, creative and fun this year if possible, so keep popping by.

over the next few days i plan to update my blog list as many blogs have finished up, changed sites, and need replaced by new ones i have discovered lately.

merry crimbo!

have a cozy crimbo with joy, fun and laughter with your loved ones. kim xx

hello again

its been a while, since i last wrote a post ive been really struggling with bad health. everything was too much for me, even just writing a little blog post. many changes in my life too, many for the better, but with many challenges along the way. still, i must count my blessings. nice to be back here, hope next year to get back to regular blogging.
