Remember to dream....



Many years ago when I lived in  North Kent, and commuted through London, I would dream of one day living near to the sea.  Given property prices in the South East of England, I imagined the closest I'd get to "living by the sea" would be in a town, where I might spy the sea from an attic window across many rooftops.  But I dreamed..... and I would collect pictures of my dream. Like in the photo above.......  and now I have this view from my bedroom window.... No daffodils in a jug, but they grow along the stone dyke instead..


I did have a beautiful tabby cat like in the first picture. But dear Fitzicat died a few years ago and now I have Button.


And of course there are daffodils......


And Button.......




Ahem.... yes Button....that'll do now!



So I got my dream picture for real .......Life is cool when it works out like that!

    Button is adorable. Who can blame her for getting in front of the camera so often? Anabel's Travel Blog
