Almost September. Already the leaves are dropping from our apple tree. So are the apples. I think the wind has been too much for them.Waste not etc, I gathered a basket of windfalls and chopped them up trying hard to disregard the odd buggy bits. I now have four boxes of stewed apples for the freezer.
My camera has finally died, so I'm using stock photos until I can replace it.
On to lovely kindnesses.
Over the last few weeks I have received in the mail, out of the blue as it were, some pretty cards and notes from kind blog friends, just asking how I am doing and sending words of encouragement. A postcard from Lourdes arrived yesterday. The sender knows how I long to return there.
Thank you to my friends from far away, it means more than you can imagine..
I was also sent the gift of a super book,
'Miss, what does incomprehensible mean?' by Fran Hill.
When I saw the book mentioned on Lesley's blog
'Nearly Martha again', I knew it was one that I would enjoy reading. I was very touched to find it sent in the mail by Lesley a few days later.
If you have a teaching background you will enjoy it, but even without that it is still a very well written book. In diary form, it's a day by day account of her experiences in teaching. It's funny but has also a serious side, dwelling on the backgrounds of some of the children, and relating to her own childhood.
Thank you Lesley.
Whilst we see here in Cornwall, sadly, some of the most rude and unpleasant tourists that we have ever known, I am so heartened to find glimpses of kindness and goodness.
Thank you so much.
