Today
I can hear the kettle whistle loud and clear, only the gentle hum of Radio 4 to accompany its urgent screech.
Once the lunches were made, the bags packed, breakfasts eaten and buses caught I returned to this quiet house.
I contemplated silence and the settling into a new-old routine once more.
As with each new term come my mixed feelings of peace and sadness.
For a little while I played Jenga with the minature Green & Blacks and photographed their tiny charms whilst considering which should accompany my quiet coffee. Hazelnut won out. Easing myself into 2012.
Happy New Year to all of you. May it be kind and gentle upon us all.

Happy New Year Rebecca :D
I must admit to rather liking the quiet of the new year. The optimistic planning. I even like the bare cleanness after the decorations are taken down. I like the excitement but I like the old routine too.
All I can hear is the wind blustering outside. It's as bad here as it is in the UK. Makes the house feel cosier though!
When I mentioned on my recent post how blogs that I love all have a personality, your blog is a classic example. I love it here so much. Your posts are always so peaceful -- your photos so gorgeous! Thanks for your gentle urging to savor the moments!
