Promises




A little time away, long promised, came about. It had been 18 years (and seven more children) since we last had a child-free night.




The view from our balcony yesterday was full of promise....for another day.




Anticipation is a beautiful thing......

    Taki widok z balkonu mojego mieszkania mogłabym mieć całe życie. Woda, tęcza - cudowne. Pozdrawiam.
    This view from the balcony of my apartment I could have life. Water, a rainbow - wonderful. Yours.

    Know that you enjoyed your evening away, and what a beautiful view of the promise of more of them! Love these days though as they will be gone faster than you can imagine!

    18 years! That's alot of uninterrupted conversations to catch up with. So pleased for you to have had that time away. I watched 'photofinish' on the abc last night (thurs) at 8:00 - it was really interesting.

    They have told me on my blog that "a treasure lies at the feet of a rainbow"... I have already seen your next photographs, and I believe it :)
    What a good way to start your little vacation.
