New beginnings...

When I noticed this nest, being built by a pair of Magpies, this morning, it cheered me up no end. After yesterday's bout of bad news, it was just lovely to see something positive happening right under my nose! :-)

I suppose, no matter what happens, life goes on...

One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for a girl,
Four for a boy,
Five for silver,
Six for gold,
Seven for a secret never to be told.
