My Diaries

January - June 2011 As June 2011 came to an end, I celebrated writing Janet’s Diaries for a complete year. I admit at times I have sat, hands poised above the keyboard and thought to myself ‘These have been a quiet few days – what can I write?’ But it is on these days I surprise myself and produce a fairly lengthy entry, proving it has not been quiet at all. Over the year, writing Janet’s Diaries has made me far more aware of life around me; this is not just restricted to events etc. in the village. It has encompassed; watching for the first snowdrop to push its way up along the footpath borders; looking and listening for the first skeins of pink footed geese; walking along the beach and watching the sun rise through low lying clouds. I never fail to appreciate these natural continuing occurrences; they are a joy to observe.
