Not keeping up…
Despite my previous catching up attempts, I am now 5 days behind with the Lenten photographs, due in part to a sore back.
The words I have missed are: listen, quiet, breathe, reflect, lost. Perhaps they can all be found in just one amazing Canadian Sunset? Last summer at Gooderham Lake ON.

Rest…
After a short but hectic jaunt to London, I was ready to rest today. I slept for 10 hours straight (hardly ever happens) last night – still can’t quite believe it!
So the picture today is:
Yes – a wee rest on the sofa, cup of coffee and a cuddle with the cat.

Catching up 2…
More pictures from London – still catching up:
March 30th: “struggle”
The ongoing struggle between democracy and security, so recently and tragically illustrated in London.
March 31st: “relief”
The relief of sitting down for a moment (Palace of Westminster)
April 1st: “Meditate”
Back to the Greenwich Naval College – where we stopped for a moment to mediate in the chapel.

Light…
Today’s picture was taken last October when we were in Spain.
This light was above the patio outside the wee cottage we were renting in Andalusia. We sat out there every night, enjoying the peace, the food and (yes) the wine – all just a memory on this cold March morning. (Note the husband, planning the next day’s activities by the light of his Kindle – yes the wifi reached the patio 😎).

Refresh…
Hot tub with an amazing view over Loch Tay – what better way to refresh body, mind and soul?

Stepping out…
A wee bit of a cheat today – this picture was taken last Saturday as my husband was stepping out at the edge of Loch Tay.
The clouds were gathering and his wee walk was about to be cut short. The rest of us were watching from the comfort of the lodge!!

Plan…
The man with a plan… working out a trip for today from our holiday cottage in Killin:

Fold..
Today the word is “fold” and I have a picture of the cat, who has managed to fold herself up into my wrap, as I am sitting on the sofa.
I was trying to write stuff, but its a well known fact that cats have no respect for laptops/tablets/books/newspapers/etc., especially when they are blocking that warm spot on a human’s lap.
