May, May, May, my goodness me this month is LUSH! There is no better word to describe what I'm seeing out there every single day - it really is L-U-S-H.
I've been walking a lot during this past week because all of a sudden the weather got its act together and has been completely wonderful. Warmth and sunshine and the most beautiful light, and everything so, so green and vibrant. I just can't get enough of it, I find it ridiculously overwhelming and my emotions have been brimming to the surface, I've felt a bit on the edge of reason at times haha!
I've had strange week, incredibly stressful with things in Dorset not going at all well and I've not been sleeping well either. But at the same time, my missing crojo miraculously returned and I've been hooking like a woman possessed. Oh, this new blanket journey is quite something and I'm looking forward to sharing it soon.
Thank you for sharing my little walks with me, and I hope you're able to get out and about where you live and enjoy the lushness of the season. Never mind rose-tinted glasses, get your green ones on!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
such a beautiful place

Coming back here after a long absence, and incredibly impressed, moved, humbled that you are still producing such heartfelt beauty after such a long time, so many changes and when things are obviously difficult elsewhere in your life.
My brother, who suffered from dementia, passed away recently, at not quite 80. It is so hard, when they are still there but less and less there, and with so much uncertainty. His passing was in some ways a relief, the situation was getting less and less manageable, especially for my niece who was his carer, yet it was also still so sad, complicated and bittersweet. I miss him but try to rest in the many good memories.

Oh my such beautiful photos x
The dementia road is a hard one my parents and my partners parents have gone down that road only one left now and incredibly is in a residential home and she loves it! We did not expect that😁. Big hugs to you x
We have enjoyed some beautiful walks with our dogs and I spent yesterday in the garden anytime indoors was spent making granny squares for a blanket.
Cant wait to see your next design.

How funny that your photos here are identical to the ones I took myself just a few weeks ago including a photo of a sweet ladybug who was resting on the leaf of a tree in the main street. I'm so very sorry to hear that this week has not been great for you. Typed words cant adequately convey this, nor replace a comforting hug.The 'greenwashing' can help a little even if it can't completely fix everything. Xox

Loving the lushness, you have snapped in the beautiful dales. Thank you. I'm feeling for you with being far from Dorset & things not going well. Take care & hugs.

That's a gorgeous walk. Your wild garlic and bluebells are way behind ours in the Midlands. Did you know the garlic flowers are delicious? Sorry to hear things are not so good in Dorset, but good that glorious May and your crochet are taking your mind off things a little. C xx

Oh Lucy I hope all is well in Dorset. You must feel so out of control being so far away. Just take each day as it comes, it will be ok. What beautiful pictures, May is such a sweet one! It has been fabulous in Leeds, I’ve put a wash on each day just to use up the sunshine!! Glad you are feeling so joyful. X x x
