White

The staring frank whiteness of the lilies L bought for me on my first day. Their scent. And baby's breath or gypsophila as we like to call it on these shores, also white, playing tiny and delicate to the huge bold statement of the lilies. And outside whiteness too. Snow. An inch or two. A little hat on the gatepost, a covering on the roofs and walls. Above clouds over blueness. Gentle now, but the forecast is for fierce ice.

And on we go.

The new job has begun well, though I have struggled with sleep. People are kind and welcoming and the journey is straightforward and almost free of traffic if I leave at 6.45!!

A fire is burning in the wood burner, and I am filled with gladness.
