✨🌟 making up for lost time ✨🌟

Hello dear blog reading chums 

I am still here, behind the scenes, working hard and still trying to be creative despite wanting to fall asleep at the end of a shift. But my body is starting to regain it's level of fitness and my routine has been so good for me... I even enjoy the 5.30am starts... When it's a crisp bright morning and the sun rises it's so beautiful ✨🌟🌞🌟✨ Not so much the heavy rains! (We've had land slides and flooding where I live)...

I should really Start this post with New year blessings... I really hope the year has started well for you. A little catch up post too... As I'm always trying to catch up. But I like this little corner of blogland and I hope (and try!!) to continue...

Autumn has arrived...My favourite season. I'm always so behind here, another month has passed by too quickly... Life has been busy/hectic behind the scenes and Birthdays have been celebrated. My daughter's 18!!!! How did that happen so quickly?!🎂❤️ 

✨✨✨🌟🍂🍁🦊❤️ Edit:: I started this post quite a few weeks back... So these next images are from September to October days

🧡🎃🍂✨🌟 Enjoying warming porridge with hilly top garden blackberries...mmm 😋 yum! ...Going for walks in the Autumn sun... Watching the leaves fall and the changing colours of the trees along the lane ... Watching the late butterflies and bees on the ivy along my hedgerow 

✨✨🌟🍂🧡🍁 Looking through the hedgerow on our local walk around the market town and up on the old railway route

✨🌟🍂🧡🍁✨⭐ Autumn sunshine, bliss

✨🌟✨🍂🎃🧡🍄 Enjoying walks in National trust gardens...like Buckland Abbey. ✨⭐✨🍁🧡🍂🌟🍄Does anyone else still look on Pinterest?...I still find it inspiring and so many beautiful photos of seasonal splendor ✨⭐✨✨I love looking through my Autumn board on there...

✨✨⭐🌟🍄🧡🍁🍂🎃I so love visual delights...that misty Autumn morning, low light...golden glimmering light...ripe red berries against the bleak branches. I wish they did the felty booties in my size🤭🤣
