Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!
This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone (except the obdurate and dictatorial) is very welcome.
I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching).
Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
Must be a family thing - I love kicking autumn leaves.
ReplyDeletePlenty around at the moment too.
DeleteSadly all our leaves are soggy underfoot at the moment - lovely to hear yours crunching.
ReplyDeleteI've just been up the same path and ours are now soggy too. We had heavy rain overnight.
DeleteWho doesn't love walking in crisp leaves? That is such a wonderful soundtrack.
ReplyDeleteI love that crunching sound.
DeleteGood fun ..... you have very crunchy leaves in France !!
ReplyDeleteI think that Bok wants you to get a move on !!! XXXX
He's always miles ahead of me.
DeleteSoggy leaves here, too now, after a tremendous storm yesterday. Winter is on it's way.
ReplyDeleteYes, very strong winds yesterday, then rain overnight. But it's supposed to be getting better again here; fingers crossed!
DeleteI love the way he finally waits for you to catch up. You can almost see a bubble coming out of his head saying, "Come on slow coach."
ReplyDeleteExactly that Weave.
DeleteI love leaves, as you know; I like to kick vigorously.
ReplyDeleteNothing like it.... the best bit of autumn.
DeleteIt's like stepping into puddles. I love both.
ReplyDeleteLike me, you must be a child at heart!
