The thrill of a new day .




Strange weather . Cloudy at daybreak . Cloudless and hot from ten onwards . ' Lourd ' the French word to describe the heavy , constant heat . Out with Wilf before it gets hot . He ambles through the sunflower fields at dawn, nose down , taking in the thrill of a new day . " A ship in a hrabour is safe - but that is not what ships are for ".

  1. Fortunately, Jack doesn't believe in dawn, so he doesn't make me get up to believe in it either! :)

  4. We love the sunflowers. Ours are still hiding amongst their foliage, obviously not sunny enough for them in England!

  5. Your post reminds me that I need to embrace the day and move forward instead of looking back and standing still...

    the promise of autumn in the air... even if its hot air!
