I have been absent!

As the title suggests, I have been absent for a long time. Busy times and then emotional family times made blogging a very difficult thing to do.
In fact it made everything difficult to do. I feel that I'm appearing out the other side but consequentially I have a lot of catching up to do.

I reasoned that playing catch up would not be beneficial to me so thought I'd just jump in again now.

I will be slowly publishing previous posts that describe and illuminate some of my adventures during my online silence but this is a beginning which will make it easier to carry on.
Much more to follow.

See you all very soon.

Going Slow

The last few days have been a little stressful, not due to anything in particular,  but more because I've been feeling overwhelmed. The list of things needing doing has become more than a little long.

Until, I decided to cycle into town, pop into my favourite bar and hang out with some friends. It was certainly a great buzz on the way in. Passing under the Tay Road Bridge, the sun still out and the water doing it's glittery thing in the sunshine. Very lovely, even more so due to the changes along the river front as the V&A slowly grows up and out into the Tay.

Along past Slessor Gardens with a stop to stroll and view the exhibition of masks on show for Dundee Mental Health Awareness Week.

Check out some of the masks.

The way back though, inspired this post's title.

As I cycled home through the shadows and sunspots, past blossom that I had time to smell, over the rail tracks I spied this... looks old to me and probably part of railway dealings but I had never seen it before. Going slow allows a different perspective on the world and one I'm happy to have.

It's been a good day. 😀
