Wet Morning

Woke to rain, and it has hung around for pretty much all day.  Glad to say that the sun is now shining.  I went to church this morning, the hymn for today is 'The Lord's My Shepherd'.  Went to Bremner Bay to get this photo, pretty much sums up the weather.  Off out with the walking group tomorrow, let's hope the rain stays away.

In 1993 I sold my house, and worked as a Home Carer.  I met some lovely people, and wrote many of their life stories.  This is the last year that I lived in Hamilton, my home town.
