Explore The Elements , Earth : Here I stand

I'm very lucky where I live to be surrounded 360 degrees by beautiful countryside, where I live is on top of a hill and if I ever find myself complaining as I trek up the hill I only have to stop and look at my surroundings the pure ethereal beauty as the breeze bristles past my ear. I am luckier than most to be able to step out of front door and to breathe deep the changing countryside air which changes with the season.

Earth is where upon I stand and earth is where I'm firmly planted , I can survey everything below me and above me. Round here the sky melts into the earth , earth is the lifeblood of the farming community and while other motorists complain getting stuck behind a tractor, I never do as it gives me further opportunity to stare upon the rich soil. Earth of which will spring fields of wheat that in summer will swish and sway upon the gentle warm breeze.

The earth is where I can experience also the other elements water,fire and air there is no contest amongst the elements who is the noblest or the best , in equal measure they are here but my feet are firmly upon the earth so no one should fear. Each element has it worth but me me earth is where I can see the most changes.

Changes I see the changes upon the earth in the countryside when I walk and I look upon the sky and when I walk upon another local village I see the water of the river ambling by and the swans gliding with effortless elegance as if they were performing a ballet dance underneath the water. I see the yearlong fruitful harvest of the earth season in and season out , I smell the earth and it fills me with hope. And after the rains in summer I love nothing better than to walk barefooted through the cool cool grass, I cannot thing of every part of the earth my fear my heart and head would explode.

Autumnal season the earth does sway heady trees lean and bow to the life they give to all. When I told here and picked up a leaf than leaf upon the soil of the field one day i look upon it to the clear clear sky. I looked through the skeletal leaf and saw the fluffy cotton floss clouds billowing across the sky.

Like myself the earth is stubborn ( though not always ) , I am a solid and demential like the earth , and I the collectiveness beauty of earth is where I gravity to just like family and friends.

I was put upon this earth to adventure , adventure is in my soul and in my heart I love the earth of where I live and when I travel and see the earth of a different country I yearn for the earth of whence I am from. Yet at the very same time I feel the need to such the earth of many a country.

Pawsome Box The Cats Eye View

"Seems the human bean ticked the wrong box when applying for a review package for me I mean us cats and ticked the one for  * deep intake of breath and dramatic hiss * a dog a dog I mean does a dog meow , sit in the sink, look cute and ignore you I think not . Hold on a minute I have been told I must sell this to you and I mustn't make you think dogs are stupid * they are .

I have a cousin he is a dog but he is as daft as a brush his name is Murphy and he thinks he is a cat so that is cool he is partial to wearing Christmas jumpers. Anyway back to Pawsome boxes for dogs is pretty much like Purrfectboxes except for dogs ( not hamsters) and it works in actually the same way.

Blogging Over Tea Cups

I'm dedicating this about blogging back to basics , seeing where your blogging compass takes you . You see blogging isn't just about the reviews , the events it goes beyond that.

Blogging over the teacups brings you back to where you want to be , where you once were.

And my imperfections in my blogging are there and guess what I'm not hiding then . You might think you know me but what I've been doing it clawing back me time / we time at an hour each day.

There are those who may rewrite their blog posts 40 times before they publish , hurrah them. Myself however nope but what has happened however is my husband now has clean pants as I'm putting on the washing a little more often.

So viva the revolution , switch on the kettle and here's to blogging over the teacups.

Being me , laughing at the corporate post offering to fix my spelling errors.

And yesterday I read a book big big step if you've been / are depressed as I have the concentration of a Knat needing the toilet. I managed it a few pages ~ the book is Listen To The Moon by Michael Murpego. At the moment I'm overwhelmed by thoughts of mackerel ...

I was inspired to write this by Jaimie Oliver from her post.

Feeling Fly And Positive

#Feelingfly is feeling fine , tickety boo , Mr Blue bird sitting on your shoulder , sounds kind of twee . It is twee but good twee and I adore that depth of feeling, and it makes me feel core right down to my core. Think of it as if you were hugging a radiator , I love the internal warm of glow from within it translates to your persona outwardly.

A few weeks backs I adventured into the woods and took a drink with me , the drink was from Firefly Tonics and the woods were a fitting place to drink it as it embraces what Firefly and what they are all about natural and how fitting a place.

Now they did didn't  stand me in a darkened room and tickled with a fluffy cat till I agreed to write about them . Neither did buy me a voucher from one of those voucher sites to go walk a mad tempered llama in need of a hug and a cup of tea.

Disclosure : I was sent a case of their drinks but they like my pictures which are jolly good * blows own trumpet moment .

Taste update : This flavour Pomegranate & Elderflower  was like Richard Gere doing the Samba on your tongue. If you don't like Richard Gere please imagine an actor of your choosing . Please note that scene from Officer and a Gentleman is not included.
