Peace

Saw this little one at my dad's farm today. Dad's not been well so I had planned to go see him after work, but by then he'd been taken to hospital. For about 15 minutes whilst I waited for my brother to arrive at the farm with a key to dad's house so I could gather pyjamas etc for the hospital, I had the place all to myself. The sun was shining and all I could hear was the wind in the trees, the swallows twittering on the electric cables and the sound of the lapwings in the fields. I could smell mint and see that the lilac tree is almost in bloom again. Such happy memories of childhood and indeed of the years spent there when my two biggest girls were tiny.
