Thankful Thursday

I have 3 days and 15 hours and 44 minutes until my departure back to Scotland.  

That is a very long time if one has toothache.  If one has a life to pack up into The Cupboard as well as live each day to the full then it is ein Augenblick. 

Today I was thankful for the moments spent just relaxing at Ninety Mile Beach in Northland with Pauline.  It set me up for the rest of my stay here.  I have saved two of my (and, I think, Pauline's) favourites from amongst the photos I took when we were there.


 For the peace and tranquility of those moments I am truly thankful.

    You seem to have got it just right, GB. Spring seems to be here at last! Beautiful photos, as ever.

      I was hoping that Frances but I got an email this morning (your Friday evening) saying it's 4℃ with hail in Fife.

    That's the life. It would take twice my current fortitude to face that journey...Good luck.

      I can't say that I look forward to it or enjoy it Adrian but the results make it worthwhile.

    Ahh, I've been waiting for the chair. That is my favourite of all our combined photos.

    Blue skies and fair winds!

      Thanks Pauline. I thought you'd like that so I saved the 'best' until the last for you.

    Just the kind of beach I like just waves. No people watching. I can understand why you are thankful.

      You could just wander and think your thoughts Heather.

      Yes Monica. It was peaceful but it wasn't exactly quiet.

    A very, very good reason to be thankful; peace and tranquility are so precious and so often missing from people's daily lives.

    Peaceful....lovely moments to stop and soak up life around you.
    I couldn't risk lying in the grass like that though, I'd be itchy all over, but it looks like fun.
    Where has the time gone? Only two days left? Happy packing.
