The Simple Things

I love to join in with Christina's celebrations of the simple things, as those are the things it is easy to find and to appreciate. It takes me very little time to think of some things to share because, I think, there are just so many! Sunsets

On the way home from work tonight, I saw the huge sun hanging in the softly coloured sky as it set. I was driving and so I chased the sunset to try to get a picture. I had to climb-up to Blackheath-as the buildings lower down were in the way. I ended up where the donkeys work at the weekend. By the time I got there the sun had sunk this far but it was still beautiful.

Charcoal and paper

A simple stick of charcoal and a piece of paper-doodling! Apples

My favourite fruit. Water

The ultimate simple thing-a cold glass of water, so easy to take for granted but not available to all of us as easily as it is to me from my tap. I am always grateful for water.

Tea

Without water there would be no tea. Without tea the world would be a very sad place! This tea cosy is lovely isn't it? Another thing which was left in my brother's house by the old lady who lived there. It obviously could not be thrown away!

Making and Play

William is here to illustrate these two simple things. Buttons

Button boxes. Sorting buttons. Mmm buttons!
