I woke up this morning to this rather beautiful pattern of hearts misted on my studio window.  Before I’d even found my slippers I was hunting out the camera and snapping away.  I think it’s really pretty!

(let’s just hope the neighbours don’t think I’m becoming a sneaky peeping tom!!)

This led me to think about hearts as I headed out on my chilly and very frosty morning walk.  As I wandered the fields and woods I looked out for hearts and it’s amazing how many I found.  Have a go – it’s really fun.

 OK so I kinda made up the blue one (I’m sure you’d worked that out already) and the stone sits by my back door……….. but the rest, I kid you not, were all out there waiting to be found.

Morning walk stats:

Positives:

The best way to start the morning in my opinion is a fresh, heart pumping walk.  The fact it was frosty was a bonus as it meant I ALMOST came home with out mud ladened boots (almost though never totally – that’s countryside living for you).  I saw a fox, he literally jumped out the bushes in front of me, eyeballed me and then turned into a rusty red blur and legged it.  Don’t know who was more surprised but it was great to see him run.

Negatives:

A red nose and rather bizarrely really chilly thumbs, but that might have something to do with picking handfuls of frozen grass for the guinea-pigs - aren’t I dutiful.  Now I can’t stop seeing hearts everywhere, is there a term for such symptoms?!!  I guess there are worse things to be inflicted with.

Hope you’re having a lovely day too x
