My lovely friend’s father always told me to spend a few minutes every day leaning up against the garden gate and simply observe life. I did just that this morning and admired these colourful little chaps who had just popped out on the hill near work. There wasn’t a garden gate to lean unfortunately but some black railings did the trick.  It will soon be warm enough to observe life from the comfort of our Colour-in Picnic Blanket.  Always stop for a few minutes a day and watch the world go by.
