Why are they so rare on the ground? Thank you for sharing with us what interests you have and what intrigues and delights you. Women ARE meant to be intelligent aren't they? I'm not sure where they all are. They seem to have mostly lapsed into childish speaking modes and be so shallow as to be pointless. Pretty pictures excepted - a message to bloggers - can you please do better and write better or just don't? I don't mean pseudo intelligent blogs either, I am tired of the relentless middle class middlebrow candy floss who think they are wise and clever yet are unable to judge such things but judge others for their spelling mistakes or other petty errors (because that is the most important thing in life isn't it, not the poverty or wars or politics of our age). They form little bloggy cliques that are hard to find a way out of. Please people have some opinions and bring them to the party, please. Please inform, elucidate and offend me (just because I am offended doesn't mean I am right). Please just have some personality of your own and stop following the leader. <br /><br />Thank you for providing a blog of some interest and integrity. You wear your learning solidly and not loosely (not something that you discard and take off). It is you through and through. Puts me to shame as I am not like that. I am however interested in many things and am thankful when people share them with me. A thinking person with thoughts and perspectives is such a rare thing to read on a blog. In fact I was tired of reading them, until I thought of you and came for a visit here. I enjoyed your knitting very much,I always love your knitting. Also the painting is lovely (I shall toddle off to find some more, as I really like it a lot) but I haven't got a clue from it what you will be creating next. I look forward to finding out.<br /><br />Thank you for your blog. Thank you for providing thoughtful content for it. I enjoy your perspective on life. People make a mistake if they think to be bland and inoffensive is to be liked, it is to be bored. I don't have to agree with people to like them at all. But the equivalent of magnolia paint is just so dull and actually the most offensive thing in the world is to be that. (Obviously others will think that about me too. It is inevitable regardless, but people can try.) If you are like that then please bloggers keep it to yourself. I like to be challenged and given some food for thought and for the soul. Candyfloss is good for neither. So much banality and lack of originality going on right now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021767487568808447.post-49956521949807178992013-03-16T11:36:00.379+01:002013-03-16T11:36:00.379+01:00Oh those two precious children!

I really am fed up with Winter and Mother Nature tricked us by sneakily having a few daffodils blossom and then Winter told Spring he was not ready to leave!<br />Love Tristan's jumper, he certainly has an eye for colour. Love the idea of Angelique's bouncy curls bobbing about that pretty blossom headband. I hope its onwards and upwards for Spring blooms coming to the fair isle soon.
