1     A cosy indoors day today with rain hammering down and wind blowing, only popping out to pick up the paper. That was when we saw something to make us smile at next door’s front door.  There’s snow expected further North. I doubt we’ll see any in Cornwall.

A Good Deed

“Yesterday this pile of blankets was all over the ground filthy, partially wet and frozen having been slept in the night before. I saw a D.C. city worker putting the stuff into what looked like a trash bag. Then this morning I walk by the same spot and see the blankets had been washed and folded… Made me smile”

3    As I unwrapped the present from Daughter No 3 and family yesterday, I began to smile and that smile has not left me! L said she was delighted when she found this small sculpture for us as she felt that it was just perfect and it is!
