In my handbag #FridayReflections

December 18, 2016
What will you find in my handbag today?

“Your face my Lord is like a book wherein men may read strange matters “

(Macbeth Act 1. Sc 5 )

Lady Macbeth could very well have been talking about my handbag ,for when I opened it today, the following things came tumbling out:

1) a wallet which I always carry

2) a bunch of keys that I always carry

3) a little make up pouch which I almost always carry

4) some odds and ends like crushed balls of tissue, some bills, a hair tie and a laying in slipbook .

This is my current every day bag that is half my size. Like many women I have many bags in different colours and sizes but this is the one I am using today.

As I’m travelling today, you will also find:
- A mobile charger
- A pouch of my everyday medication
- A panty liner
If you had opened my bag four months ago, you’d have found a pacifier, a rubber duckie, a packet of biscuits and perhaps a Pamper too!

Help! This bag is a security threat!

Two months ago my bag was stopped at a security check point while visiting the Statue of Liberty because of the canister of perfume and the odd shaped lipstick that was kept in my make up pouch. I was quite relieved when the ‘Queen Latifah’ lookalike security guard checked out the items and closed it with a smile saying

“You’ve got good taste Mama! “

This morning I found a blog post that I think will help me re-focus my lens and take captivating pictures of flowers.

So I had to share it with you.

Flowers are beautiful and attractive. They can bring us inspiration, peace, and stir many other powerful emotions. You don’t have to be a professional photographer to capture great flower pi…

Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful;

they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul.

The New York Skyline #SkywatchFriday

December 3, 2016

I’m not really used to sunset at 4.30 pm and am amazed at how night falls so quickly these days.

On Wednesday C and I drove up to New York to catch a Broadway show and see the lights of the City before returning home.

Here’s a fleeting shot of the NewYork skyline that I could capture from a speeding car through a the raindrops on the window pane .

Linking this up with #SkywatchFriday where bloggers from round the world share their pictures of the sky.
