tiny package

She is a tiny package
Sweet, tender and cuddly
Joy,
which you can hold
and snuggle
and kiss
and cradle
and watch as it grows
like a flower which blossoms
unfolding in front of my very eyes
all things great are shadowed
by this tiny package of life.

My sister's last day in the UK...

Thankful that England has worn her best dress for the occasion.

Amateur does not mean inferior

It means doing things for love by Anne Atkins

and what can be more purposeful and rewarding than that?

Land of Dreams

Grand pa – why do we sleep?

We sleep so we can dream.

What are dreams?

Dreams are what you paint when you are asleep.

Paint? How?

When you sleep, your mind enters into a special room.

In this room are buckets of memories. Each memory is a colour.

When you sleep; your mind dips into these buckets.

And as the mind mixes one bucket with another, a feeling is born.

Your dreams are the images of these feelings.

Can I control my dreams?

I’m sure you can, but why would you want to? Every day you are awake, your mind is controlling something in your life.

That is why everyone sleeps. It is so they can let your mind.

Is it like letting a balloon go?

Yes it is. When you sleep, your mind can float anywhere.

Can it float into space?

It can do more than float into space, it can take you to a planet where the plants speak to you and the animals sing.

Can I eat all the chocolate I want?

You can eat all the chocolate you want and your dentist will never be worried.

Can I be a pirate?

In your dreams, you can be a pirate that dances with a ship that is a stage and a crew that is your band.

I wonder what my mind will dream of tonight?

Sleep and find out.

Settling in

no reward can be greater than feeling "involved" with each moment...

We should always remember what our parents have endured for us.

A day at the beach

Let us head down to the beach on a sunny day

And beat the heat by jumping into the waves.

Swim like the fish and

dive

under

the sea

A treasure awaits you if you choose to believe

the ocean, it is a beautiful second world

It’s a home for many living things,

All sorts of jellyfish,

Multi coloured tropical fish,

Turtles, whales, dolphins and sharks

You name it, chances are, you’ll find it

Even old ships who have laid to rest

on the beautiful breast of Neptune.

In certain parts of the world,

Where the waves lead to seas,

And seas turn into oceans

Water birds called penguins can find a good feed

So ask your mum and dad to take you to the beach

Maybe, just maybe,

You’ll find a treasure from the deep.
