Flowers always cheer me up! and boy' have I needed cheering up I could see myself heading for a melt down last week~ I think everything had finally hit me and emotionally I just broke down.
While Sweet pea had her weekend with her Father I headed by train to Cornwall to see my Mother for some well needed love and comfort at her home. She took me out on Saturday night with a Cornish Morris side called 'Catseyes'~ lots of dancing around apple tree's to wake the spirits up and hopefully bring a good crop for next year. We ended up in some lovely local's converted railway station house~ it was stunning! ~Drinking Apple cider and in their gardens they had been converting railway carriages into holiday lets...It was pouring with rain and my camera does not take good pictures in the dark , so I have nothing to show you of that magical night!.
But if you can imagine lanterns, folk singing, folk dancing and musicians with violins, bells and guitars making a heavenly sound towards a beautiful fairy lit Apple Orchard then you can visualise the beauty of it all.
We all ended up down the local lovely pub...I really needed a good night with lovely, good spirited folk.
I came Home on Sunday feeling like a new person...feeling like i can take on the world and be positive about the future once more...
Its been pouring with rain for what seems like months and months in Devon, but something beautiful happened this afternoon the Sun showed her pretty face!~Oh' it was much needed!,
Thank you so much for all your kind emails and messages~ It really cheered me up to read them and to know there are some lovely folk in the world,
best wishes,

I am so happy for you to have a place to go where you can re-charge and come back refreshed what better place than your Mom's.....love Heidi

I am really glad to hear that you are feeling much brighter, Kazzy. Nothing better than some "mum time", isn't it? I don't have my mum anymore but mum in law ticks that box almost the same. :)
ReplyDeleteYour evening may don't have pictures to show us how lovely it was, but you can conjure the idea just as lovely. :)

I love Baetrix Potter!!!!! Lovely post!

As you know your posts always brighten up my day and it made me smile to think of you having a whale of a time enjoying your self at such a lovely fun evening, wish I could have joined you, Lucey x
ReplyDeletebeautiful daffodils, certainly a splash of sunshine for a wintry cold day!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had a lovely time, very much well deserved.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a fantastic time. I live in cornwall and know of this but have never gone. Everything in Cornwall seems to end in the local pub Ha! Ha! Mums always cheer you up no matter how old you are. You cheered me up with your beautiful daffodils.
ReplyDeleteRosezeeta
Sounds like it was just what you needed!
ReplyDeleteYour night in Cornwall sounds fantastic, just the thing you need when the batteries feel worn out. Glad things are looking up, now just to wait for the spring eh? xXx
ReplyDeleteI feel 2013 will be a great year for you and sweet pea, Mums are great when you need them to be, my Mum always knew when I needed a little TLC! :) x
ReplyDeleteHello Kazzy! What a lovely post! I' m glad that you feel yourself better! With love, Geli
ReplyDeleteHello sweet Kazzy! Your photos are gorgeous and so cheerful! I am sorry things had gotten so bad sweetie, but I am delighted you had such a lovely time with your dear mum and are feeling better! It sounds like such fun! I am so glad the sun shined for you! Enjoy! Love and hugs, Paula xo
ReplyDeleteOh my you lucky thing you! I love a good old 'Wassail' before we moved down south last year we attended our friends Wassail and it was pretty much the same as yours well Minus the Morris dancers :( They call it their 'Winter Warmer' and it certainly does just that, it reminds end refreshes and more importantly the Wassail.
ReplyDeleteWe have just planted 5 apple trees and I thought about having our own Wassail this year but don't no anyone down here yet but next year I am going to throw it.
I absolutely love your description and I hope you don't mind but I would like to write it in my inspiration journal as it conjures up so many ideas for painting. It probably describes my perfect evening, except I would have to be wearing fairy wings and dancing around without a care in the world.
It sounds like just the weekend you needed and I am thrilled to hear that you are feeling refreshed and ready to start 2013 with a fighting spirit. You and your blog are a real inspiration to many of us and we cant wait to read about your adventures xxx
What a wonderful evening it sounds, like something from a story book! I can just imagine it now, even the image makes me feel cheerful.
ReplyDeleteHello Kazzy
ReplyDeleteSounds perfect, a lovely evening Wassailing! glad you have had a chance to wind down and be just you for a change..the sun shone yesterday here and I went for a wonderful walk it was so nice to see..(snow today)
Stay warm

I'm glad things seem a little brighter. Mums have a way of helping like no one else can. Keep your spirits up and keep those little daffodil rays of sunshine close until the sun comes back to stay. Hugs xxx
ReplyDeleteYour mother must be such a lovely person, and your twinny too.
ReplyDeleteHow lucky you are! Sounds like a fairy tale time.

Your relationship with your mom sounds like mine with my mom; incredibly special. It sound like you did a good job between you of getting you just what you needed to press your reset button.
ReplyDeleteJo x
I am a relatively new follower and really enjoy your blog.
Mums are the best aren't they :) I am having a 'black' time at the moment and my Mum is at the end of the phone or just a short cycle ride away whenever I need her :)
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon - if you're like me, a burst of sunshine and some spring flowers certainly help a bit :)
Hi there Isn't it just amazing what these little unexpected pick-me-ups can do?!! Real life savers, aren't they. It sounds almost like a scene from a movie!! Wonderfully happy and filled with joy.
ReplyDeleteAMarie
Hi Kazzy, haven't checked in with you for a while. It sounds like we've both been feeling down! So glad you're feeling more positive. Thank goodness you have such a positive relationship with your mum. x
ReplyDeleteOh Kazzy, hope the sun shines for you soon!
ReplyDeleteLove Claire xx
What lovely, sunny photographs! Glad you were able to go to family for some TLC, it sounds like it did you the world of good.
ReplyDeleteGillian x
That sounds such a special event and was just what you needed to cheer you up! Were the railway carriages in St Germans?
ReplyDeleteSarah x
I would have loved that!! Glad it did your soul good xx Sandi
ReplyDeleteI've just found your blog and am really enjoying looking through your posts. It sounds like you have had every right to feel a little down lately but your mum sounds like a blessing. My mum gave me a card some time back and on it says ' A daughter is just a little girl who grows up to be a friend'. I love this sentiment and hope that the relationship I have with my daughters reflects this. I'm sure you will pass the same on to your daughter as you have received from your mum x
ReplyDeleteHugs to you, and I'm sure the sun will come, and this year will be better than last! Your time at your mum's sounded wonderful, and you deserve it . In my garden, there are some lovely little winter aconites showing their little starry heads, and green shoots are poking their heads out of the soil everywhere! Spring is definitely around the corner x
ReplyDeleteSharon xx
You take beautiful photographs on a very beautiful blog!! Sounds like you had a much needed magical time on your trip. Karen Lesley x
