seagulls look bemused
when we fly through deep sand
inspired by stars
we rise in the mornings
count our blessings while we sleep

Great to hear you are safe and warm! We have had some light sleet and snow here today while the heavy snow has been falling on the higher ground and a bit further west. Hope you continue to stay warm and much love to you and Finn :o) xxx

Glad you’re not in the heavy snow zone 🙂 I’m secretly wishing for a white Christmas, make a nice change and Finn loves the snow. Much love to you, Pearl and Eivor xxx
