Beautiful afternoon, so quiet, peaceful, nourishing ….  walking along beloved and known country lanes bathed in sunlight.  As if a fine wine, an elixir.

Yet bbc radio news tells us that rain will cease (never has been) and a cold night (yes) will follow.

If I was to plan my life according to the nonsense of bbc radio weather ie north east England …. then I wld be wasting my life. Its often been the case, a decade and two ago when keen to paint my window frames I soon cottoned on to the fact that whatever the weather bods forecast was mostly to be ignored.

Look out the window, trust your instincts.

Almost forgotten a penpal on qq  … a quite useful and interesting medley of random contacts that never were irrelevant, all worthwhile.
