View from the window: Good Morning!


It’s actually afternoon here now, but never mind. This is the misty morning view the Mansion wanted to show me today, it’s of Mystic Springs. The bit that juts out in the third pane is where the inhabitants get the rowing boat to take them to the mainland.

I shall have to take another visit to Mystic Springs myself to see what the residents are up to now – the last time I visited was last year sometime. That seems so long ago now, doesn’t it? And we’re only six days into the new year!

Still, Spring is on it’s way, which is always good…! I hope this Spring will be magical as well as mystical!

    Must be a trip to awaken to a different scene every day! Perhaps a trip over to the island would help pull out Cirencester’s story out of you. Perhaps he was from there originally. Have a great evening T…Hope you are successful in the lab with that new hair gel….VK

      It’s interesting, VK… very interesting!
      I think you may be right regarding Cirencester – his origins may somehow be linked to Mystic Springs; I will check it out! 🙂

      It’s been sunny but the skies have been heavy with dark cloud here today, Andra. At least we’ve not had rain – we’ve had enough of that for a while now anyway!

          It has gone a lot colder today Sue. Apparently, we are in for three weeks of snow – however I hope it snows at convenient times for us all! 😀

      I don’t want to say no, Kate, because I wouldn’t mind a day’s worth – but that’s all! And then, we can have a glorious Spring! It has been quite warm of late though…

    On this side of the pond we’re only sixteen days into winter.

      To be honest, LA, I think it’s the same over here as well – but it’s been that warm lately one could be mistaken that it’s Spring already. Summer, if you didn’t realise it was only January…!

        Tom I just happened to watch the news on TV a few minutes ago. The forecast is for a very mild week here in the Big Apple. Temperatures could reach the fifties. Am I allowed to ask, “WTF?” on your genteel site? More signs of climate change if you ask me dear chum.

          More signs indeed, LA! I think we’ve both been seeing the signs for quite a few months now, weather-wise… 😦

    I don’t care what spring’s like or even the rest of the year at this point. Just so long as at the end of this month everything is as I need it to be and not as I fear it might be…it is a very long month…6 days already feels like 6 millenium…waiting…waiting…waiting…I will have wasted away from stress by then so maybe it won’t matter anyway! 😀

      I’m going through an ’emptiness of mind’ stage at the moment, so my posts are a little more sparse than usual… but I’ll keep trying!

        Thank you Tom it has been okay this evening, and don’t worry about the blogging it is similar to waiting for a bus, none are visible and then two or three come along at once and with your fine thoughts of posting stories I know that whatever you produce will be brilliant 🙂

          I enjoy the writing, and coming up with different tales, and different ways of actually writing them as well, but when I’m in a writing slump I feel frustrated. And I don’t like missing days between my posts as well, but when needs must…
          Hope you have a good weekend!
