Textures, Sunsets And Songs In The Wasteland

It’s been a week or so of leaden days, with a few shivering mornings as well.
The sunsets have been pretty good, though.

We went to the cafe the other day – we’re trying to make it a regular thing. It was so cold they had blankets folded on the outside tables for anyone brave enough to sit there.
That wasn’t us…
I like the mix of textures they have there (although we did briefly muse about the difficulties of dusting). There are interesting things wherever you look.

Lots of shells and seedpods.

Many friendly bunnies, strategically placed.

A whole display of shell necklaces (I have my eye on a couple, when I have some spare cash 😀 )

Painterly effects…

My world sometimes seems small in scope, and it’s tempting to drop into sadness. I love this house – a good thing, since I’m so often here! – but in some ways it should be more difficult. We’re on a main road and diagonal to a pub (potential noise), we look out onto shops and have no garden to speak of (but plenty of flowers!), our neighbours are very close (potential lack of privacy).
What could be barren can become beautiful…
and we can still choose to hear the music in the wastelands.
