Whatever the weather.....

For some reason this lunchtime I started thinking about the weather.

From a fleeting thought I was distracted by this for a further 15 minutes. I was thinking about all of the different types of weather we experience as humans, and the effects it can have on us environmentally, physically and mentally. I finally drew the conclusion that weather is a truly awesome thing!

I don't know where this is... but it's by Frans Peter Verheyen. And all I know is it's gorgeous. I love. love. love rain. And walking in the rain. :)

The Bible says that God realized that man would remain sinful, so he decided never to curse the ground for man’s sake, and never to smite every living thing again as he had done with the flood. So God made a promise to never destroy the earth by a flood again. When God makes a promise, he keeps it. As a sign of his promise, he placed the rainbow in the sky whenever it rained. AMEN!

The oceans takes a beating every day from the worst storms possible yet once they're over it stills itself to a calming halt..

where the stream meets the sea, where the sun sets in hues of orange and gold, there is where I'll be.

Tea and Cake

I don't know about you but I think tea and cake is one of the nicest things in the world.

I would struggle to name my favourite cake, I have so many..... what's your favourite?
It really amazes me how many different types of cake there are, and types of tea come to mention it, one of my favourite teas of all time is Rington's green tea with citrus.

There's something about having a great wedge of cake with a hot cup of tea that feels truly indulgent.

Moist Christmas Fruit Cake: Fruit cake is a traditional British Christmas cake that is full of fruits and nuts and laced with alcohol, usually brandy. This gives the fruit cake a subtle brandy flavor and a moist texture, plus it also allows the fruit cake to be stored fora long time. #cake #fruit #christmas
