It's that time of year again. Almost to the day (13 March) that it started last year the picking of the apples in the orchard in front of The Cottage commenced again this year.
I am completely in awe that it could be Autumn where you are and Spring where I am...and that your blogs show tomorrow's date for me, almost every day. It just puts me in my proper place...in wonder of it all :o).
I know it isn't enviromentally green and I do try to live that way but whenever I see Kiwi apples in the shops in England I just have to buy some. As the juice trickles down my throat I think of the sweet smelling apple orchards.
We may be apart but when I look at the sky and remember that we are standing on the same earth, looking at the same moon, somehow you don't seem so far away after all.
Life
Life isn't about dawdling to the grave, arriving safely in an attractive, wrinkle-free body but rather an adventure that ends skidding in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, totally worn out, screaming "Yee-ha. What a ride!!"
Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass… It’s about learning to dance in the rain. (With thanks to shabby girl of A Travelling Fish )

Like a Godwit I migrate. I live in New Zealand during the Southern Hemisphere's Summer and I live in Scotland's Outer Hebrides in the Northern Hemisphere's Summer (See Eagleton Notes). In both places I also live in Blogland which, for me, is as real a life as any other.
