My week...

The sun has been out this week and the world is starting to wake up around us. Leaves and blossom popping out, bird song gathering volume and smiles appearing on people's faces (not obscured by woolly scarves and hats). The days are getting longer, so the children can play out and people can walk their dogs. I love the summer evenings, and it feels like they are emerging. Happy week.

And happy week in blogland, writerland and creativeland...
