From these eyes.

Looking out, from within,

I gaze at my life, 

here on earth.

Through these eyes of mine,

I watch.

Like a cinematic screen,

the movie rolls,

I see my teen years, my childish laugh.

My playful banter,

jumping in the hay.

Running through the grassy fields,

singing with my friends,

friendships gone,

but not forgotten.

Conversations recalled,

hands held,

family members embraced.

Through these eyes,

I watch.

I see my life,

through these eyes,

 I am the same inside.

As life plays on,

stopping for no one, 

through these eyes,

I watch. 

I am the same,

being carried along.

My body, outside, begins to age.

But I remain the same.

Behind these eyes,

I watch. 

People I have loved,

people I have lost.

I can not return to these scenes,

that play before my eyes.

I can not embrace those hands,

those hearts.

The time is gone,

This play goes on,

behind these eyes,

I watch.

This came out of a dream I had, where I re lived my past, from a binocular type of view, through my own eyes.
As I remembered all the days that I had lived, I embraced those past days.
 I  felt deeply effected.
At the end of the dream,
I was speaking to an old friend,
and in conclusion I was telling her that I get effected by sentimentality. It always stirs me, moves me and causes me to make a change some how.
 At the end of the dream, I was an old lady.
Perhaps it is a reminder at how fast these years on earth are?
Perhaps it is a reminder that we need to embrace those around us while we still can?
It certainly made me think.

 

Camping trip

A catch up of our holidays.

I am growing 

LARGE!

Here is my 21 wk photo.

Jessie captured me in my pajamas, 

a bit blurry but its hers ;0)

Anyhow, we decided to camping in Chichester

this year,

the sun was shining when we booked..

not so much when we arrived!

It didnt dampen our spirits though,

the girls still wanted to jump in the heated pool and have a swim.

They were toasty..

We sat and observed the madness,

from under our umbrella!

James face was for effect-but you get the picture!

We dried them off, got dressed and headed into town for some dinner.

It was lovely and warm in the resteraunt - outside the rains just 

just poured and poured!!

That night was a noisy night under canvas!

I hardly slept,

partly due to pregnancy related issues,

and the rain!

The next morning, I woke really early and Ellie to,

we shared a warm cuppa and breakfast as James and Jessie slept.

The next few days were drier and we explored a bit.

Catching up on lost sleep- look at Jessies face n the netting!

Afternoon naps..

The bump in all its red-ness!

Then off for a family swim..

and very very warm showers,

that were hard to leave!!

Morning breakfast..

Morning campers!

We spent the day visiting my great aunt,

the girls great- great aunt.

They thought she was great when she opened a bag of goodies

for them each!

We had lovely weather as we explored the park.

A steam train ride..

Feeding the swans.

Climbing trees..

park fun..

All of us had a lovely time,

despite the first crazy night we had in the storm!

Baby bump and I were exhausted after it all.

Mwah!

Back from Wales.

We travelled back from Wales last night.

We had a lovely little break,

catching up with Family,

meeting new nephew

Eli-Israel.

Seeing James little sister Saphia - Nicole:

We had a lovely time,

Hope you are all enjoying the

Easter break.
