. 'A lion doesn't concern itself with the opinion of sheep.' . . Just on my way back from a swim this lunch time, when I saw a sign for Fresh Eggs. 🚜🐔 . So I turned down a very muddy lane, collected said eggs from the farmyard, (large, pale blue and speckly), slotted my £1 into the honesty box, and heard bleating beyond the mossy dyke. . These ladies were waiting patiently for a pedicure. They are a cross between Scotch Mules and Texels, and I was more than interested in their opinion! 🐑💅🐑 . . Just thought I'd post, as the three from yesterday were such a hit... I'm off now to the first Council Meeting. I may be some time! 😬🤨 xx. 'You know, life is what you make of it - so beautiful, or so what.' (Paul Simon b October 13th, 1941) . . It was lovely yesterday, blue skies and warm seas 💦 not so lovely today. Precipitation for the nation. But that's what waterproofs are made for right?! 🙄 I do worry about the sheep though. They must get awfully waterlogged... 🐑 🔫 . . Best foot forward everyone, to a beautiful week ahead, here's to diamonds on the soles of your shoes xxxx 😘💘😘 . . . . . . Thank you @merlins_mind I love your gallery xx 🐑🐑🐑📸 xxx. 'If anyone were to ask me what I want out of life I would say - the opportunity for doing something useful, for in no other way, I am convinced, can true happiness be attained.' (Eleanor Roosevelt, b 11th October, 1884) . . Chimney swept this morning, just in time I should say, the north wind doth blow 🌬️. The sweep and I chatted about his job. He loves the smell of coal. Which is good, because his mother used to lock him in the coal cellar as a child when he was naughty. . He peers at my scar and asks about it. His brother has just had open heart surgery and the cold weather makes the site ache. I wave him off and head to the beach for a swim, then spend the afternoon reading over my notes for the Community Council Meeting in a few days time. . Our wee community had an election last week, the first in over 24 years. People. Actually. Voted. For. Me. 😲 . And now I'm being stopped on the lane and asked about potholes and parking and Christmas lights. 🤔😬 . Don't pass up the opportunity to do something useful. It adds meaning to life, and that way lies happiness. Xx . . . . . Ps I know you're all the most charitable, giving bunch, this isn't written to impress, but to impress upon. If you're stuck, wavering, unsure how to move forwards, take the plunge! Xx. 'One's life has many compartments.' (Harold Pinter, b 10th October, 1930) . . According to Coco Chanel; it's not the room, but the life you live in that room... . Rooms.. compartments... some rooms I never enter, dark, gloomy, full of unopened boxes, unread books, stuff that needs repairing... the unresolved... door firmly shut... . Others are more welcoming, comfortable, familiar, gentle.. . Maybe it's time to pay attention this weekend to the rooms we never enter .... 🤔 . . And if I could find a Spark to hang the chandelier I've found, after looking for months, that would be fabulous. Not sure how that works as a metaphor! 💡⚡ . . . You'd probably never get me out of this fabulous room, beautifully curated by @leestantonla 📸🔥💚🧡💚 . I love the paintings, have just hung a pair my father bought me whilst he was in Scotland... When I say I, I mean Rory, the joiner... 🔨💅🖼️😲. 'Don't depend on other people's encouragement. It's never enough and never when you need it.' (Sigourney Weaver, 70 today! 👽) . . Fred, my Bee Keeper Mentor is full of encouragement. I saw him at the Bee Keeper's monthly meeting on Friday. Everyone is excited about the upcoming end of season Honey Show. . . Heather honey, creamed honey, comb honey, ad infinitum honey will be judged by a special guest travelling from Ireland. . . My hives didn't produce much honey this summer, so the President suggested I put forward an entry for Class 11. 'A cocktail. One of the ingredients of which must be honey.' Recipe to be displayed.' . . She obvs has the measure of me.. 💃🕺🍸 !! . . Any suggestions? Not sure I've ever had a cocktail containing honey. Is Hot Toddy a cocktail? I also have berries - elder and black, but not straw, like these plumptious beauties from my friend @derletztewolf 🍓🍓📸🍓🍓💞. 'The home should be the treasure chest of living:. (Le Corbusier, b 6th October, 1887) . . Such a wonderful space, combining elegance and comfort, my two 'must haves' when it comes to that treasure chest.... What about you? What treasure makes your house a home...? 😘 . . . . . . Thank you lovely @nicolalawrence.textilespapers for this design by @adelaidebragg 📸🌸🌺💗🌺🌸. 'Whether it’s the best of times or the worst of times, it’s the only thyme we’ve got!' . . I LOVE this thyme garden from the fabulous @alexandra_c_lloyd such a wonderful idea isn't it, an interesting alternative to a chamomile lawn...., just wish it wasn't so humid in my part of Sub Tropical Scotland, not sure it would work here...? 😎☔ . . Please take time to stop and smell the thyme/roses/coffee this weekend! I'm off for lunch and a tour of the distillery down the road, which has had a makeover by its new Australian yoghurt magnate owner! ☕🥃 🍽️ . . Have fun, and keep an eye on the time. Xxx ⏳. 'There was a machine in the kitchen which could extract the juice of two hundred oranges in half an hour, if a little button was pressed two hundred times by a butler's thumb.' (F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby) . . 👍 . . Awoken early this morning by a starling shrieking down the chimney. A coil of mist is unfurling itself along the valley floor. The tide is out, porridge is on. Orange juice squeezed, (by me, butlers are scarce in these parts 😕). . . Off for a swim when the sea creeps back. My bones are telling me what for, following over exuberant Scottish Country Dancing last night... 💃🕺🙄 . . Today Will Be A Good Day! . . I hope you are remembering to tell yourself this every morning! xx Get your butler to remind you! Xxx . . . . . . . Thank you @messynessychic 🍊🍊🍊📸🧡🧡🧡. 'All at once, summer collapsed into fall.' (Oscar Wilde) . . I hope you had a September to Remember! . . Best foot forward for the week ahead! XXX 💪🤸♀️. 'More people worship the rising sun than the setting sun.' (Pompey, d, 28th September, 48 BC) . . Sunrise or Sunset? Which means more to you? . . To me, sunrise is promise and sunset is peace. . . I'm an early riser, and linger by the window most mornings, to catch the sun creep up behind the heather clad hills beyond the bay, spilling her golden light across the ruffled water... . It's a NEW DAY! I'm ALIVE! . . Where do you watch the sun set/rise? By the age of 50 the sun will have set 18,250 times... . #FoodforThought xx . . . . . With love to @sharonsantoni and @clairebasler for this stunning sunset shot.... 📸🌅🌇😲❣️✨. One of the best lessons you can learn in life is to master how to remain calm... . . Friday flowers from me to you XXX 💐🕊️ . . Just looking at this fabulosity from the wonderful @fordeabbey makes me feel calm... . #Onetofollow !! . . Would love to hear your one to follow suggestions on #FollowFriday - sharing is caring! #spreadthelove!!. 'You took the words right out of my mouth, it must have been while you were kissing me.' (Meatloaf, b 27th September, 1947) . . Into the weekend like a bat out of hell, don't let anyone dull your sparkle! xx . . #radiatorsnotdrains #🦇 #💎 . . . . . . . Thank you to @ashleylongshoreart #genius for this wee fillum xx 💐'GO PLACIDLY amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.... Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.... Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.... And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy. . . Happy Birthday to Max Ehrmann born September 26th, 1872. . Max wrote Desiderata, (meaning, 'things that are desired'), in the 1920's. . He wrote it for himself - 'because it counsels those virtues I felt most in need of'.... . . According to Aristotle, there are twelve virtues: . Courage - bravery and valour. Temperance - self control. Liberality - generosity. Magnificence - joie de vivre. Pride - self satisfaction. Honour - respect. Good temper - equanimity Friendliness - conviviality Truthfulness - candour Wit - GSOH Friendship - companionship. Justice - fairness. . . Which virtue are you most in need of? Self Care September, take time out to consider this... 🤔 . #lightbulbmoment 💡 . . My self control definitely needs work! 🙄 🍫🍰🍷 . . In the meantime be cheerful, strive to be happy xxx . . It is still a beautiful world, magical tablescape from @theweddingbliss via @ashleytstark. 'There is power and strength in optimism To have faith and to stay true to you Because if you can look in the mirror And have belief and promise you Will share wonder in living things Beauty, dreams, books and art Love your neighbour and be kind And have an open heart Then you're already winning at living You speak up, you show up and stand tall It's silence that is complicit It's apathy that hurts us all Pessimism is for lightweights.' (Salena Godden) . . Sharing the wonder with all you fabulous optimists! You're winning at living. XXX . . Dusk down by the harbour. Have a super week ahead xx. 'When summer gathers up her robes of glory, and like a dream of beauty glides away...' Sarah Helen Whitman . . Can't believe it's the last day of Summer tomorrow. Can't believe I can't believe it, happens every year right...?! . . Gathering berries for the freezer before the birds nab them all... ....Anybody know how to repair a puncture?? 🙄 It was a long walk home... 🤦♀️. 'There are three necessary elements in a story - exposition, development, and drama. Exposition we may illustrate as “John Fortescue was a solicitor in the little town of X”; development as “One day Mrs. Fortescue told him she was about to leave him for another man”; and drama as “You will do nothing of the kind,” he said.' (Frank O'Connor, b 17th September, 1903) . . Sarah Thomas is a long distance swimmer from Colorado. One day she decided to swim the English Channel. She completed her swim this morning, crossing the Channel FOUR times, it took 54 hours. Sarah was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2018. She dedicated her record breaking swim 'to all the survivors out there.' . . I watched all this unfold this morning on a large TV screen in the breast cancer clinic of Dumfries Hospital. What an amazing story. I drove back to the cottage and headed straight for the beach and managed about 40 minutes before my fingers turned quite wrinkly. . . Here's to all the survivors out there, ...only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go..... Xx . . Fabulous flowers from my lovely friend @derletztewolf ...because we can! 🌺🌺🌺📸 . . Ps I'm just off to Scottish Country Dancing in the School Hall, so forgive me if I don't respond pronto to your message xx. 'Most of the shadows of this life are caused by standing in one's own sunshine.' (Ralph Waldo Emerson) . . Planted some winter colour in front door pots. Ambled into town. Picked elderberries for cordial. Made apple crumble. Tidied cupboard under sink. Sat by the fire and read the Sunday Papers from cover to cover. Stacked logs. . . I've done just about everything today, instead of what I should have been doing. 🤦♀️ So the mantra for the week ahead is: . Don't Stand In Your Own Way. . . What stops us from taking that first step towards where we want to be....? . . 1). Self-doubt, don't think about why you can't, think about what you need to succeed. Make a list of your achievements, however small they may seem. . . 2) Perfectionism, it's a myth, being perfect, nothing is. It's time to trust in yourself, you are a wonderful, constantly evolving human bean, it's time to say STOP - that's good enough. . . 3) Fear of the unknown, life is full of surprises, if you'd told me a couple of years ago that I'd be living in another country, swimming in the sea every day, recovering from open heart surgery, I'd never have believed it. 🤪 We have no idea what's around the corner. Step into the unknown, if staying with the devil you know is making your life a misery, take the plunge, what's the worse that can happen? Don't wait for an opportunity to just roll up. They don't, you create them! You are only confined by the walls you build yourself. So stop standing in your own sunshine, and start dismantling that wall, and give yourself a chance. . . #BestFootForwardForTheWeekAhead XXX Lots of love to you, you fabulous Iger Warriors! 😍😍😍 . . Now, should I just do the cutlery drawer before I crack on... 😲😉 . .. 'Life is ours to be spent, not to be saved.' (D H Lawrence, b 11th September, 1885) . . I was fascinated how a previous post touched so many - a little girl and her pony, having a picnic in a meadow.... . And then my daughter reminded me she was reading a book called Ice Cream for Breakfast - 'How rediscovering your inner child can make you calmer, happier and solve your 🐂💩 adult problems'... . And this reflects the essence of the previous post, good old innocent childlike fun, and how we lose sight of that when we become adults. 🙄 . . So slide down the bannisters, make popcorn, dance in the aisles, dream big, have a picnic (pony optional!). Don't take yourself so seriously. Life is a great big canvas, throw all the paint on it you can! Have fun, an adventure, life is a game, play it, don't save it! . What are you waiting for?! ⏳ . . . . . . A beautiful bowl of cheer for you from the flower goddess @cultivatedbychristin 📸💗🤸♀️🌟🌸🌺🌼. 'You have to live before you die or you'll die before you live.' (Peter Sellers, b 8th September, 1925) . . My father and I made the most of Doors Open Day today in Scotland. We baked bread in an Iron Age Roundhouse, visited the waterwheel at an ancient sawmill, and learnt about life in the Mushroom House of the old walled garden (pictured), before buying honey, a lampshade and two Victorian seascapes at Kirkcudbright Flea Market. . . I am kernackered. 😲 My father is ready for a walk on the beach. He is the very manifestation of Peter Seller's words... . . How is Self-Care September going? I hope you're Making Room For The Magic! 🧙 #BestFootForwardForTheWeekAhead'Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.' (Winnie the Pooh) . . The BEST thing I've seen on @instagram for a long time! .
