Today’s prompt: look out a window; what do you see? I’m on an impromptu trip to Stirling and thought I should really give myself a break from today’s post but snapped a couple of photos out the car window on the way here, then added in the View from my window at the B&B and each one made me think of how fast time passes the older you get, and how conscious you become of wanting to hold onto good moments and want them to last forever. I think everything looks quite beautiful in Autumn, even in the rain, with a dusting of vibrant orange leaves holding onto some of the colour of summer before we move into Winter.

But then even in Winter when the trees are bare, and daylight is rare, the season can surprise us with other moments of beauty when the frost sparkles on the ground.

And that change of season is a good metaphor for life I think. Often change arrives when we maybe don’t feel quite ready for it, but when new moments arrive they can take us by surprise and make us view things from a completely different perspective.

ps this post is arriving from my phone after pre-dinner drinks so apologies for any weird formatting/typos
