Comfort

I wonder what brings you comfort?
COMFORT is the prompt word over at Sunday Creative for this week.
Comfort: given meanings are- to give strength and hope- consolation- freedom from pain/trouble/anxiety - or something that gives such freedom...

Here is my list of some of my favourite things that bring me comfort,in no particular order- they all work for me!

1. Where would I be without Dairy Milk?

2. A nice soak in the bath.

3. Words of comfort.

4. My Cosy blanket.

5. My slippers.

6. Sausage and Mash, almost ANY cake, lasagne, fish and chips with lots of salt and vinegar, bacon sandwich, Sunday Roast.

7. A hug.

8. A comfy sofa or a cosy armchair.

9. A nice cuppa really helps bring happiness for me.

10. Flowers.

Time Worn

When I read the prompt for this week's Sunday creative: TIMEWORN there could only be one thing for me to write about and photograph.
Meet Merrythought.

My much loved and worn with time teddy bear.
I have had him since I was 1 years old.
So he is 44.
He has been cuddled, sat on - I used to sit on him in church as the pews were hard when I was about 4 - his nose is slightly squished and off centre,now.
He used to have a growl but then he needed a big thump in his tummy for it to work and now it doesn't work at all. I can still feel it in there somewhere.
He sat in the garden for many a tea party and attended several teddy bear's picnics.
He has been into hospital with me and once came out of theatre wearing an eye patch and those dark green theatre knickers!
He used to sit on my bed,along with my other toys all lined up nice and tidy when I went to school.He would then be dragged down the stairs everyday when I was at school by my dog,Fred, when he was a puppy. He was a small poodle, who used to systematically collect from my bed each toy in turn from the bed and drag each one thump, thump, thump downstairs before running back upstairs to repeat the exercise with the next item until he had either completed his mission or my Mother caught and scolded him.
Before I went to college, my Mother insisted on re-stuffing him, on account of him looking rather thin. He know has red thread stitches to mark the occasion and still looks quite stuffed.
He was named Merrythought as he bore the label "merrythought", which has now worn out and disappeared.
He is still very loved and proudly sits on a little chair.
A little time worn or worn with time, perhaps.
I like to think of Time=Love.
If that be so,then Merrythought, my bear is very love worn.

Enjoy!

My Sunday Creative Reflections on a Tuesday

Sitting on the sofa, a blob day, time to relax, re-energize before returning to work tomorrow. Yikes!
Summer reflections are full in my head and somehow making their journey from head to heart as I process what I have done and loved and learned and anticipate what is next in my Luci journey....
Sunday Creative is a fabulous blogpost tobe inspired and what better word prompt for me for this next week.... ILLUMINATE.
God, illuminate my path.
I sooo loved visiting Anglesey, a tiny island off North Wales,UK this summer and loved watching the beginnings of the sun setting.
Beauty.
Peace.
Tranquility.
Fishermen and sailors returning home.
rock pools, sand, gulls,
Enjoy!





and have a look at other inspiring photos around the word ILLUMINATE this week!
I really fellin love with this place. My trip was waay too short.
I really wantto go back again to unwind all over again.
Can you blame me?

I did my art creation using black pen for the stone window and oil pastels for the bright colours in the scene in the window.
