I'm returning back to blogger my darlings!

I hope you are all well and will eagerly await my ramblings.

Much Love

Miss Meg

Cry

2010-07-06T06:57:00.001-07:00

You began to cry, just crying. The deep and ugly kind, the kind you lose yourself in; though you’re thanking God that no one has to see how rubbed and blotched your face becomes. Though, some detached part of you also wishes there was someone there to see you now, to see and understand just how sad you are at heart. They don’t see it and of course, you would never show them that side of you.

Jane Eyre

Sometimes I have the strangest feeling about you. Especially when you are near me as you are now. It feels as though I had a string tied here under my left rib where my heart is, tightly knotted to you in a similar fashion. And when you go to Ireland, with all that distance between us, I am afraid that this cord will be snapped, and I shall bleed inwardly.

I like to see people reunited, I like to see people run to each other, I like the kissing and the crying, I like the impatience, the stories that the mouth can't tell fast enough, the ears that aren't big enough, the eyes that can't take in all of the change, I like the hugging, the bringing together, the end of missing someone. - Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer

And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it

2010-05-24T13:51:00.001-07:00

Each of us has something that we can give.
The trick is to find it and use it,
to find it and give it away.
So there will be always more.
We can be lights for each other,
and through each other's illumination
we will see the way.
Each of us is a seed,
a silent promise,
and it is always spring

A warm breeze through my window like a gentle wave  lapping the sandy shore in summer at low tide, and as I took in a breath  of air that blanketed my body like tall grass in a field I felt for  just that moment in time, like I did when I was a child. I felt that I  had not one worry, not one burden, nothing was on my mind accept that  breeze, that made the curtains swell like balloons

My Great Grandmother passed on the 9th. It seems she died of a broken heart and gave up. She just celebrated her 90th and I'm ever so lucky I had 18 years with the both of them.

They're together now and at peace. 68 years of marriage and the best Grandparents I could ever hope for.

Lets put a little sunshine back into this blog.

2010-04-03T09:05:00.000-07:00

And so I fell. And I fell forever and so quickly at the same time, daydreaming whole novellas in the half a second it took me to fall, yet for one reason or another I never hit the ground. I landed in the arms of all those I had ever loved, of those who had slipped gently into my life and seemed to fit so perfectly. Looking around, I realized that there was always someone there to catch me, one of those glorious souls with a story to tell, those beautiful folk who have made an impact in my life, and it occurred to me that in this crazy world none of us really ever hit the ground. We can fall, spinning through space like mad cosmic frisbees, but in the end there will always be someone to complete our grand finale. And we will spin wildly right into their arms.

To let go isn't to forget, not think about, or ignore. It doesn't have any feelings of anger, jealousy, or regret. Letting go isn't winning or losing. It's not about pride. It's not about obsessing or dwelling on the past. It isn't about loss and it's not defeat. To let go is to cherish memories, but to overcome them and move on. Letting go is accepting. Letting go is having the courage to accept change. Letting go is growing up.

I want to say a big thankyou for all of those who have sent their love, hugs and prayers to myself and my family. Your kindness is very much appreciated and your all darlings!
My Great Grandmother is now living with my Mum and I. She has her own room next to mine and her 90th birthday was just yesterday. The family came down and we celebrated it at our house.
I coulden't help but feel sad just for a little while. My Great Grandfather just got buried 13 days ago and I've already visited his grave three times. This year would be my Great Grandparents 69th year of marriage!
Anyhow it's time to move on and carry on as before. Spring is here and I love it! All new born farm animals are here and there and the flowers in the garden are just about coming out! I can nearly take my boat out to the loch and sail! The weather is getting warmer and the nights are getting lighter! Spring is just my most favourite time besides summer.
So now I shall start blogging again and writing nonsense to all 41 of you!

For him I'll put on a brave smile and carry on as normal.
Inside my body is falling apart, my eyes tear up every now and then. The pain I feel doesn't stop.
He is my everything, my superhero, my teddybear. He is my Great Grandpappy and he is so special to me that no words can express.
The thing I've dreaded the most is happening. As I write this he is in his bed with my Great Grandmother to comfort him. He is dying and there is nothing I can do. It's such a shock because he was such a fit man, or so I thought. He was suffering with prostrate cancer for two years without my Mum and I knowing. The family knew it would have been hard for my Mum and I to live so far from him. It's a blessing we're back here with him now.

Sorry I can't write anymore.

2010-03-05T08:49:00.001-08:00

Will you wait for me?

2010-02-22T08:35:00.000-08:00

My Great Grandfather got put into hospital on Saturday night and as you can hopefully understand I am in no mood to write.
I've visited him and he isn't ill just in discomfort from his prostrate. He's taking examinations as one of his kidneys aren't working at all.
I need to be with my Great Grandmother atm whilst he is away but hopefully he shall be back by tomorrow or sometime this week. We want him home for my Mothers birthday this Thursday.
I'll come back in March and thankyou again for your prayers.

People hurt, degrade, and put themselves below everyone else. I ask though, if we’re all doing that, where do we really stand amongst each other? Are we all so blind to other peoples pain and so consumed in our own that we don’t bother trying to help? I’m not perfect. You’re not perfect. But at the end of the day, no matter how much something hurts there IS love out there that is seeking your attention, love from a friend, love from family, love from a stranger and love from yourself. Don’t neglect it, don’t let love and knowledge wither and die because you were too consumed in sadness to appreciate it. Grow from your weakness, learn from your sadness. Know that above anything you’ll always have YOU, and you need to take care of yourself. Follow your gut. You’re stronger than you think, prove it to yourself, for yourself! My secret? I don’t follow my own advice, but hopefully, someone can.

Thankyou guys for your prayers. My Great Grandfather is getting far better now which is a blessing. I spent my Valentine's day with him and my Great Grandmother which was lovely.

QUESTION:WHAT DO YOU DO TO CHEER YOURSELF UP?

2010-02-02T14:57:00.000-08:00

Hello dears!

I know I've been somewhat of a bad blogger and I know how some of you are rather upset that I haven't been writing as often. I really should bite my tongue and think before I speak, or should I say write in this circumstance. I told you all previously that I will post twice a week and that the next following post would be of photos of my walks. Well as you see I have done neither. I do have an explanation though. I've been given some upsetting news about my Great Grandfather. He is alright but his health has gotten a little bad during the past 2 months and only recently did he tell me what was wrong with him.

I feel I can write on here and tell you all what is wrong with my Great Grandfather to you guys because I see you all as lovely friends and you all are simply wonderful people.

You'll know that I'm very, very close to my Great Grandparents so understandbley when my Great Grandfather told me the news I was devastated and extremely upset, but his illness is easily treated and quite common in men. He has Prostate cancer and without my knowing he has had it for 2 years now but has been in excellant health because of the fantastic treatment he has been given. It's been pretty bad this time because of the weather and the fact he had a fall a couple months back, but he is getting back to his good old self.

My Great Grandfather is my SUPERMAN! he is everything a man should be and he's such a character! He turned 93 2 weeks ago and he looks great!

Well anyways I'm busier than ever. The usual work and study but now also helping my Great Grandmother atm whilst my Great Grandfather can recover.

I shall finish with telling you all 4 things about myself that the sweet Minna has awarded me with. I find these things difficult because I don't want to sound awefully boring but here you go.

I love to spend my sunday's just sitting in my Great Grandparent's livingroom with them and telling jokes and share stories with them whilst the fire burns.
I have a terrible habbit of playing with my hair and my earlobes when I'm bored. I press my earlobe on abit of my hair and it goes all prickly. It sounds rather strange but it's a nice comforting feeling. (I just sound weird lol)
I love dressing up even if I'm not going anywhere and just staying in the house. I'll have baggy clothes on for lazing around in and do my hair and makeup just for the fun of it!
When I was little I would go into the bathroom and turn the taps on in the sink and put my Mum's products (lotions ect..) into the water and use the end of a toothbrush to mix it all. I was pretending I was a witch making her potions in a cauldron. I was a very imaginative child :)

So there you have it! Four ever so interesting facts about myself!!
I hope it's not against the rules to chose you all to be awarded with this? It's just I cannot decide and I'll feel rather mean if I don't include all of you! If you read this post then you are officially been awarded to write four things about yourselves!
Right..I'll not bother checking punctuation or spelling so if this post is messy I'm sorry.
OHHHHH finally I was wondering if any of you dears know any layouts I can use? I'm not very happy with this one. It's not neat enough for me and it's pretty stretched out which I don't really like. If you would be kind enough to share a layout with me I'll happily credit you for it.
I'm offskies now, I smell a cup of tea that's calling my name!

Meg

QUESTION: WHAT SUPERPOWER WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE?

For me it's the ability to fly!

Oh boy.

2010-01-16T08:43:00.000-08:00

You know,

I want a boy; just some skin and some rough hands, some whispered words and harsh breathing. I want to laugh at you and cry for you and miss you so much it aches and wrap myself aroud you. I want to feel the weight of you, to hear the sirens, to run until my breath gives out, I want to smash things and remake them with blood on my hands. I could stand in the rain until I’m saturated with you, until the water stings my eyes the way your words do. We could fingerpaint our dreams, you could play me a lullaby full of discordant harmonics,. I want someone to fall asleep with.

Notice I've changed my name to Freckles! Do you like it?

Next post I shall have some pictures that I've taken.

I'll take pictures of my day (the day I have off ofcourse) and if you want you could do the same?

I might go to the beach? Or walk up to the forest? I'll see...I might not.

Anyway I know I didn't post twice this week or gotten round to returning comments but I will do!!

I'm busy with so many things atm and the moments I'm doing nothing I'm pretty much out or inside relaxing.

So don't hate me ok? Just be a little annoyed if you want.

I'll go off now but don't you think that picture up top is so, so sweet?

I'll leave you to look at the cuteness of it :)

Meg

QUESTION: WHO HAVE YOU BEEN LISTENING TO ALOT OF LATELY?

I've been listening to alot of Mumford & Sons and Damien Rice atm.

I could listen to The blowers daughter for hours!

2010-01-09T14:44:00.000-08:00

Slap my hand and promise for now on I shall write in every page! Moving swiftly on, 2010! Oh lets make this a better year shall we!! I've made a promise that I'll post twice a week on here if possible! You want get tired of that will you? I'm sorry I'm not making much sense, I'm rambling, I'm hurrying my words aren't I?

I'm quite tired tonight so I shall finish with this.

If I were a musical instrument, I’d be a piano or ukulele or guitar.

If I were a color, I’d be pink or blue.

If I were an emotion, I’d be creative or imaginative.

If I were a fruit, I’d be a pomegranate.

If I were a sound, I’d be the ocean.

If I were an element, I’d be water.

If I were a car, I’d be a mini cooper.

If I were a food, I’d be pasta.

If I were a place, I’d be a beautiful countryside.

If I were a material, I’d be lace or wool.

If I were a taste, I’d taste like home baking.

If I were a scent, I’d be flowers .

If I were an animal, I’d be a owl or some woodland animal.

If I were an object, I’d be a book or a mirror.

If I were a body part, I’d be the freckles or eyelashes.

If I were a facial expression, I’d be a smile.

If I were a song, I’d be a rock anthem.

If I were a pair of shoes, I'd be a pair of wellingtons.

QUESTION:HOW ARE YOU HAVING CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR?

2009-12-13T10:15:00.000-08:00

The door was shut, as doors should be,

Before you went to bed last night;

Yet Jack Frost has got in, you see,

And left your window silver white.

He must have waited till you slept;

And not a single word he spoke,

But pencilled o’er the panes and crept

Away again before you woke.

And now you cannot see the hills

Nor fields that stretch beyond the lane;

But there are fairer things than these

His fingers traced on every pane.

Rocks and castles towering high;

Hills and dales, and streams and fields;

And knights in armor riding by,

With nodding plumes and shining shields.

And here are little boats, and there

Big ships with sails spread to the breeze;

And yonder, palm trees waving fair

On islands set in silver seas,

And butterflies with gauzy wings;

And herds of cows and flocks of sheep;

And fruit and flowers and all the things

You see when you are sound asleep.

For, creeping softly underneath

The door when all the lights are out,

Jack Frost takes every breath you breathe,

And knows the things you think about.

He paints them on the window-pane

In fairy lines with frozen steam;

And when you wake you see again

The lovely things you saw in dream.

- Gabriel Setoun

QUESTION: WHATS YOUR FAVOURITE THING ABOUT CHRISTMAS?

2009-12-09T16:56:00.000-08:00

Here's to the notes lost in the washer, to the memories washed away. Here's to never forgetting. Here's to being young and never wanting to grow up. Here's to waking up next to the one you love. Here's to believing every lie people ever told you. Here's to those that just need someone to sleep next to. Here's to change, both good and bad. Here's to missing people you care about. Here's to moving on. Here's to feeling infinite. Here's to all the wishes at 11:11, hoping one day they'll come true. Here's to remembering old friends. Here's to all the words we never said, and to the ones we choke on. Here's to holding your breath in that one perfect moment. Here's to the ones who were on top of the world but fell off. Here's to every tear you've wasted on people who never cared. Here's to trying to be perfect even when you know its not possible. Here's to finding him, and holding on tight. Here's to the nights spent living for the moment. Here's to speaking the most honest words you've ever spoken in your life. Here's to those who fall in love in their dreams. Here's to not knowing, and not wanting to know. Here's to those who wonder where love starts. Here's to serendipity... even if it doesn't last. Here's to the girls who fall too fast... and know it. Here's to the songs that make you feel like nothing hurts. Here's to the ones who bend over backwards to be loved, but aren't. Here's to everyone who has ever cried themselves to sleep. Here's to those nights where you just can't sleep. Here's to every word they said to you replaying, over and over. Here's to leaping before you look. Here's to the times I wish I had said no. Here's to the times I'm glad I said yes. Here's to that tingly butterfly feeling you get when he's around. Here's to the nights when feelings change, for better or worse. Here's to the first kisses. Here's to those who survived to become stronger, better people. Here's to life, as hard as it may be, and picking yourself up when you've fallen down.

Meg

QUESTION: OUT OF THOSE LINES, WHICH ONES APPLY TO YOU?

2009-12-07T17:16:00.000-08:00

Everyone, at some point in their lives, wakes up in the middle of the night with the feeling that they are all alone in the world, and that nobody loves them now and that nobody will ever love them, and that they will never have a decent night's sleep again and will spend their lives wandering blearily around a loveless landscape, hoping desperately that their circumstances will improve, but suspecting, in their heart of hearts, that they will remain unloved forever. The best thing to do in these circumstances is to wake somebody else up, so that they can feel this way too.

Meg

QUESTION: What time do you usually sleep at?

I have no time whatsoever! Well I do sleep before 2am on weekdays but otherwise I'm up reading a book.

2009-12-05T13:26:00.000-08:00

I am back now dear sweetpeas! Did you miss me? I, myself missed you all and writing on here.

I'm so glad I took sometime away from here though, I felt I was becoming lost and if I'm honest uninspired and a little fedup. I simply coulden't think of anything to say or do on here and even though every single one of you has been supportive and oh so lovely, I still felt rather blank. But lets put that all behind us and start a fresh, does that sound good? HELL YEAH IT DOES!

Now before I go on I'd like to say a BIG thankyou to Yasmin for this neat little layout that she created. She kindly let me borrow it and I'm so very pleased with it. I like to keep things simple and not be messy but you might discover that I might have alot of writing at the side-> but you want grudge me on that will you?

Well what do you expect from me now that I'm back? Well expect pretty pictures that I find and fancy to share, and possibly my own pictures I take from my little adventures in the countryside. There might be times when I wont be writing and I'll just post a poem I like or a short story I've found or wrote. I think I'll really just make this blog about my favourite things, things I've done and what not. Make it personal but not too personal. A little piece of me that you all can see through this blog.

I'm going up the road with my Mum and Grandparents tomorrow. We're going to a castle where it has it's own christmas grotto! It should be magical and beautiful. If possibly I might be able to take some pictures but if not I am sorry.

Christmas is creeping up ever so quickly before our very eyes and I've already hinted what I'd like to have. There is this paticuliar necklace that I simply must have because it is just so, so precious!

Do any of you know what you want this year?

Earlier today I saw my younger cousin Jennifer with her boyfriend who is the same age as me and they were kissing away in the middle of the street! I'll sound like such an old woman but I remember her when she was 6 and we'd go to the park and play on the swings. Also it made me slightly jealous that she has a boyfriend and I have not. But boys aren't all that are they? ;)

Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas!

I LOVE IT!

The sight, smell, sound, taste and touch of it all is so very lovely and warms my heart.

Sooooo I've announced my return and spoke of my excitment and loving of christmas.

All this rambling. Do you regret me being back =p

Bear hugs,

Miss Meg

QUESTION: What do you want for christmas? What do you wish for to appear under your tree?

2009-11-18T07:03:00.000-08:00

If any of you had noticed I did post last night saying I was going to stay away from here for a little while.

The reason was I just couldn't think of what to do or write on here.

I feel I'm not showing all of who I am. You must all think me boring and silly.

If a little bit of inspiration came along and a nice layout for here, I shall be happy.

It's all looking rather tacky and dull.

Bare with me., I'm messing around with different colours and names for this blog.

I'd love if any of you could think of some ideas.

I'm rather quite stuck.

Meg

2009-11-13T13:42:00.000-08:00

Hello my little pierrots.

Friday the 13th it is today! I'm not at all supersticious but I won't go under a ladder.

I know if I took those things seriously I'd be a nervous wreck and look like a maniac watching everything that was going on around me. Are any of you supersticious? If you are what do you avoid? What do you do for good luck? ect..

Moving on completely I have had an idea! I'd really like it if some of you would post a blog of yourself as a little child (any age will do) and a put a picture of yourself as you are now. Don't ask me why, I just thought it would be abit of fun. If you'd rather not thats ok but it would be nice.

Here is a picture of me when I was 2 or 3 and next to it is ofcourse a picture of me now at 18.

I looked abit of a munchkin didn't I? My hair was almost a golden red when I was little but it quickly went brown. Fortunatly I still have my curls but maybe not so many ringlets that I used to have. I need to use curlers if I want that.

In some ways I'm still am that little girl. I still love dressing up and playing characters. I still read my fairytales and make up stories, though I'll write them down on paper.

When I was little I was always dressed so pretty and smart. I wore dresses with matching hats and thrilly socks with little patent black buckle shoes. I'd wear blouses and cardigans with little trousers. I even had my own kilt!

My Grandmother in America would send clothes that you couldn't get in the UK so I dressed differently from the other children. She'd send disney clothing and I even had my own minnie mouse costume with ears!!

I wish I could find that picture of me dressed as Minnie. It's very cute if I do say so myself!

I shall leave it at that now. Just the question and that shall be it till maybe Sunday or Monday.

QUESTION: WHO DO YOU LOOK LIKE MOST?

MOTHER OR FATHER? OR MAYBE ANOTHER RELATIVE?

I look more like my Mum than my dad. I have my dad's big blue eyes and tallness but everything else is just like my Mum. ( My Mum is only 5'3 while I'm 5'8 and my dad is 6'2)

I didn't take my colouring from either of my parents though for some reason. Both have dark, dark brown hair whilst mine is much lighter.

Everywhere I go people always say I'm my Mum's double! which is nice as my Mum is a very beautiful woman but I'd like to look like myself. You can get pretty sick of people saying "You look like twins!"

Does that mean I look the same age as my Mum! I hope not =p

Remember if you want to do the "Now and Then" pictures just say so in the comments.

[Removed pictures]

2009-11-10T07:52:00.000-08:00

Hello cottontails!

I am so glad you responded to my favourite things post! I know no pictures were taken but this is because my camera has officially died :(

Anywhooties the lovely Angelica left me a blog award! A second award in under a week, I'm so, so thankfull.

Because of the award I have to list seven things about myself. Well here I go, you might find them rather dull though.

I come from Scotland but 10 years of my life were spent in Kent, England. I'm back living in Scotland in the town I come from and I've never lost my scottish accent which I'm very happy about.
I don't like the taste of alcohol or the smell of ciggarettes. Therefore I hardly drink and never smoke.
My Great Grandparents mean everything to me. They are such a special couple and they're the most kindest, friendliest, loveliest and funniest people. They're so in love after nearly 70 years of marriage and my Grandpappy is so cuddley and my Great Grannie is such a naughy little thing.
I'm a farmers daughter and I love the countryside and being with the animals. Whether it's rain or snow I'll be out and about with them.
I don't really listen to the music of today. I'm more of a old time rocker. I love Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, Kate Bush, Janis Joplin ect. My dad is to blame because of it.
My Mum is my best friend. She's hysterical if not slighty bonkers. She's so sweet and everyone just loves her. She's amazing.
I have always been creative than accademic. I hated maths and science at school. My best subjects were english, art and drama. I was one of those drama geeks. I performed in every play and studied it for four years.

There you go! At first I wasn't sure what to put but now I don't want to stop. If someone else leaves me a tag like this I'd be quite happy to do so.

Anywhooties I know it wasn't rather exciting but I'm happy with it. I really want you all to know a little something about me and who I am as a person.

Moving on, now that the nights are getting dark earlier in the evening and the air is biting cold I love nothing more than staying in with the fire on and a good book in my hands. I also have been going rather nuts on my Tumblr, posting so many pictures that I have found.

I'll leave another post on either Thursday or Friday.

QUESTION: WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOUR IN AT NIGHT WITH NOTHING TO DO?

2009-11-08T07:20:00.000-08:00

These delightful things are just half of what I have on my shelf!

And look at the last one! "Pictures" by Tim Walker was given by my very lovely Dad! I was going to save and get it for myself but he suprised me with it!

As some of you may have known my camera isn't working anymore :( I've had it for five years and it has passed away. No pictures from me!! Well that won't do! I must borrow a camera when I get the chance! I want to share as much as I can with you lovlies.

I went onto my blog a couple days ago and I discovered the ever so lovely Ellie Grace gave me my very first award! I am so, so thankfull of it! I cannot explain my gratitude. There are so many pretty and wonderful blogs out there that I think you'll agree are far better than my messy little one.

Still I am so pleased. Thankyou again and again!

Cupcakes my darling Snoopy has something to announce!

Sometime this week Miss Meg shall take pictures of her favourite things she has around her bedroom!

She has many bits and bobs she'd really like to share with you and she does hope you shall do the same!

Tell a story if you like of how you got your things, what they mean to you ect, ect.

For instance Miss Meg got me in Paris when she was eight from her Mother. It was love at first sight!

Angel cakes!

My laptop decided to become sick and I had to send it off for fixing!

I hated being away from my blog and not hearing what you all have wrote!

But I'm back and ever so pleased to discover I have 3 new followers!

Thankyou Fresh Grace, Grand Duchess Anastasia and Madeleine, I'm so happy!

Anywhoots I've been very good with my birthday money! Only today have I used some of it to get things from Asos. One of the items is a bowler hat with a bow and it's so beautiful!!

I cannot wait to receive my parcel this week! I'm like a child at christmas with deliveries. Are any of you?

I have so many things I'd like to post but I won't waste it all in one day. I actually became very blank on what I should blog about last Saturday. You might have noticed I did post pictures of myself dressed as a doll but I decided to delete it because I wasn't really happy with them...oh well another try soon!

I've been reading Vogue and I really cannot wait for Decembers issue! Last December it was covered with Tim Walker photographs and mermaid stories! Kate Moss on the cover aswell! Shall she ever stop modelling? I do hope not!! Who are your favourite models? Atm I do like Lily Cole but maybe thats because she is also In St Trinians and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus! ( Oh I do hope that film lives up to my expectations!)

For tonight I am to watch Jonathan Ross, Coraline, and The September Issue. Tonight is going to be a nice night but I cannot be bothered to go out..snuggle under the covers is far more suiting for me thankyou very much!

My next post is going to be special...well I say "special" but it will be something different and I do hope some of you will participate. I won't say anything else but that!

There's no earthly way of knowing Which direction we are going There's no knowing where we're rowing Or which way the river's flowing Is it raining? Is it snowing? Is a hurricane a-blowing?

Not a speck of light is showing So the danger must be growing Are the fires of hell a-glowing? Is the grisly reaper mowing? Yes! The danger must be groFor the rowers keep on rowing And they're certainly not showing Any signs that they are slowing!

Question: Do you have a favourite model? What magazines do you read?

2009-10-09T05:29:00.000-07:00

So high above the world I'm flying,

the only breeze is an angel sighing

The warm glow of the sun shines down on me,

as I drift ever closer to my destiny

Floating through these beams so bright,

I push myself to reach new heights

I don't know when, but someday soon,

I'll be there dancing on the stars, on the moon

On the ground I hear them cry

to get back on earth, and out of the sky

I'm not meant to touch the stars,

They're just too bright, and much too far

And just when I stop flying, start falling

I hear the voice of an angel calling

I listen well to her sweet sound,

saying, Fly on, and don't ever look down

'Fly' by Angela K. Dyson

The reason birds can fly and we can't is simply that

they have perfect faith

for to have faith is to have wings

James Matthew Barrie

QUESTION:If you were given the chance to transform into an animal (think Harry Potter) what animal would you choose to be?

As you've noticed this post is about Birds and that is my choice of transformation!

I have a budgie of my own and he is such a clever thing! He speaks and copies everything you'll say, just like a parrot! He is blue and white and we raised him since he was an egg!

Birds are beautiful to me and coming from a fishing town there are plenty of different birds around!

Owls are a favourite as I have jewlerry of them and a stuffed cuddly owl.

So what would you transform into?

QUESTION:Whats your favourite movie scene(s)

The Masquerade dance scene in "Labrynth" is so fairytale and magical, it's one of my favourite movie scenes amongst many. David Bowie is so devilishy sexy and I wish I was Sarah (Jennifer Connonely) in her princess gown dancing hand in hand with him!

One of my presents for my birthday was a venetian mask and I shall show you it sometime! It's so dramatically beautiful! Gold and black it is!

Thankyou Anjelica for following me! I'm really happy that you all enjoy visiting my blog and answering my questions!

2009-10-06T14:36:00.000-07:00

Shadows all around you as you surface from the dark

Emerging from the gentle grip of night's unfolding arms

Darkness, darkness everywhere, do you feel all alone?

The subtle grace of gravity, the heavy weight of stone

You don't see what you possess, a beauty calm and clear

It floods the sky and blurs the darkness like a chandelier

All the light that you possess is skewed by lakes and seas

The shattered surface, so imperfect, is all that you believe

I will bring a mirror, so silver, so exact

So precise and so pristine, a perfect pane of glass

I will set the mirror up to face the blackened sky

You will see your beauty every moment that you rise

Aurevoir for now.

QUESTION: Who are your favourite celebrity couple? Or who would you love to see together?

Sunday, Sunday!

The rain was on but the sun was shining alongside it so it was such a pretty view.

Here are some pictures I took of my house.

First I took some pictures of my flowers that my Grandfather helped replant for our new house.

Aren't they pretty?

Then I took pictures of the sky to show you what day I am having.

Bright light and dark clouds. Just beautiful.

Then I thought I'd show you what I see out my windows in my house..

Bengulian hills and forest at the top.

I will take some photos when I walk up there sometime. It is truly magical and fairytale like.

And the old church that is behind my garden..

And the old victorian washer that is antique in my garden ^^

Well there you go my little photos of my house and what I see around me.

I will try and take more photos of my life in future but for now I'm going to celebrate my 18th tomorrow and shop till my hands will most probably drop ^.^

Oh and Emma is on tonight so I shall cuddle up near the fire with a nice hot cup of tea.

A roast dinner tonight scrumptious!!

Hello Sweetpeas!

I woke up this morning to discover ghostly white skies and rain hitting off my window.

I love the rain and how cold it feels on your face and the way it makes your cheeks go red and the frozen feeling it leaves on the tip of your nose.

Ofcourse if your properly wrapped up and not wearing a light coat or cardigan and dress then your done for with the cold or even flu!

I went out earlier this evening thinking I might take some pictures and put them on here because of "Raindrop and Rosepetals" idea of "Getting Lost" but the rain starting pouring so badly I just coulden't take any pretty pictures. I'll do it again though when the weather is brighter and a better location.

As I said before it's my 18th this Monday and I've made it clear that I wish I would stay a child, but though it's impossible to get back to being a child, I still can be a child at heart "cliche" I know but tis very true.

Without going on and on I shall leave with some pretty little pictures.

I actually thought I'd have something to say but really my mind is on my birthday and other things, so I do apologise for this rather dull post.

Question: Can you remember your favourite childhood birthday?

Mine was when I was five or

Publish Post

six and my Mother hired the entire town hall and it had this massive bouncy castle that was infact shaped as a medeval castle. My curls where in bows and I had the prettiest polka dot dress.

I think the theme must have been fairytale orientated as I remember my cake being white and pink with a unicorn and princess models on top and there were cardboared turrets on on the doors..but I don't remember much else.

There you go, now it's YOUR turn.

I can't wait to hear them.

Hello Sweetpeas, guess who is back?

Well me ofcourse silly if you hadn't of noticed >.<

I was away as you know due to moving house and now that I'm finally in my new and lovely house I can have time to blog as much as I possibly can.

I haven't failed to see that you darlings have left such lovely little comments and again I say I am ever so thrilled and thankful.

I'd like to thank "Twinkle Magpies", "Wandering Dreamer", "Dauphiné" and "Minsquin." for following me since I've been away.

If I have failed to mention anyone please do say!

I shall get round to answering your comments and read your blogs when I get the time. I do love to read everyones thoughts and see beautiful pictures.

I will do a proper blog on Friday but as from tonight and tomorrow I need to sort my room and unpack my dreadfully boring brown boxes!

I'm getting peckish now so I going to make Lasangna.

OH before I forget I turn 18 this Monday!!!

Why can't I be like Peter Pan and never grow up eh dearies?

Sweetpeas!

You really are the most sweetest people. I did not expect such kindess and sweetness, and for that I am ever go thankfull. I do love to come on here and see you've written a comment and see what you've written.

Tonight I watch "The Dutchess" and I must say it wasn't my favourite period drama.

I don't know what it was I just didn't enjoy it as I thought I might.

Keira Knightly is a strange actress to me. Sometimes I like her acting, then other times I don't. It really depends on the movie. I do love her in Antonement and The Edge of Love though with the beautiful Sienna Miller!

But anywhoots I'd like to thank SEAFARINGS for following me! I shall be commenting on everyones blogs but as for this month I shall be away from the internet as I'm moving and my attention needs to be on that.

But please do comment whilst I'm away and when I get back I shall return comments. I promise.

I had my bath earlier tonight and I used a bath bomb that was such a pretty colour and smell. Lemony and powderey scent that when fizzing in the water little stars came out! It was such a pretty sight!

I shall leave with this delightfull poem and these enchanting pictures.

Straight into my lovers arms.

You've always been bashful; you're just that way,

But your eyes are like billboards, they give you away.

Your mouth is a trumpet somebody else plays.

Long after the notes gone the tone usually stays.

And your chest's a fine pillow with lining of feather.

Your hair is a family whose strands stick together.

Your fingers are keys from the grandest piano,

Played by a mind that the lord only knows.

The tongue of an angel floats in red wine saliva.

Your teeth are out of porcelain made by masters in China.

Your face can't be captured by pictures or words.

And your voice is a music that I never heard.

And your skin is a cream dipped out beyond measure.

Your nose is a peak never touched by the weather.

Your fingers are keys from the grandest piano,

Played by a soul that the lord only knows.

- Masters in China by Priscilla Ahn

Shall hear you all soon!

Sweetpeas!

I am ever so glad you answered my first blog question, it was really lovely to read.

I'd like to thank the two Sara's for following me, I was so pleased with your comments and I am forever thankfull for your sweetness.

Anywhoots today was not a very pleasent day at all! Infact I just stayed in and curled up on the couch in my livingroom with the fire blazing (imagine not long ago it was hot, hot heat!)

I kept my laptop on and placed it on the footstool and watched Pride and Predjudice AGAIN! (1995 version)

That version my sweets is the best! I cannot think of a better Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy than Jennifer Ehle and the forever dashing Colin Firth!

I think this adaptation was the most, without doubt the most accurate and truest to the book. Nearly every word from the book was in the film. It certainly captured the beauty and art of Miss Austen's writing.

Jennifer is so perfectly cast, full of emotion, and plays such a subtle, nuanced performance.

And Colin Firth...well what can I say he is just EXACTLY what you'd picture Darcy to be! Those eyes and the obvious love and admiration for Elizabeth is so heart melting, I just...I can't even explain lol.

Also the fact they(Jennifer and Colin) fell in love whilst making the drama helps cause you certainly see it!

I felt like the actress who played Jane, though obviously a pretty woman, wasn't as beautiful as Jennifer as Elizabeth. I don't mean that cruelly I just felt Elizabeth was the most attractive when Jane in the book was meant to be.

ANYWHOOTS (You'll notice I do say this alot ^.^) I have to say this scene below me is such a nice sight for your eyes^.^(that meaning Colin in the wet shirt) I'm terrible I know.

Wow, well I've certainly written alot, but as you may have known by now theres nothing more I like than a good old romance!

Let me dream and daydream of when I shall have my own Mr Darcy...for thats all I can do for now.

QUESTION:What is your most favourite book and film? Any recomandations for me?

Sweet peas!

This is a very late post but I just had to thank "Delicate Diaries" for following me.

I know it must sound like no big deal but I do want to show my appreciation.

I was very happy to discover that I had 1 new follower and now know I just simply should carry on blogging as I just have so much I'd like to share!

Anywhoots I thought I'd share thisSince the age of 12 I have had an addiction to old Hollywood movies and it's actors and actresses.

This book is exactly what I need as I think those days the actresses where truly talented, strong and beautiful women. The men were nothing but gentlemen , it made me fantasize that someday I will find some man exactly like those off the old movies. (But I know that's very unlikely, but still I'd like a Gentleman nevertheless)

On my walls in my bedroom I have old Hollywood posters and little pictures of some of the actors and actresses, and have a countless collection of old films.

All I need is to get this book AND for my 18th this October I shall attempt to get my hair done exactly like Gene Tierney, as her hairstyle was typically 1940's.

Gosh now I want to buy loads of tea dresses and pretty stockings!

I think I shall end this blog now ( before I burst with enjoyment) and leave these pictures of War Time advertisments for Max Factor and Revlon.

(Oh if only I could have seen my Grandmothers makeup back then)

Hello sweetpeas!

I came onto my blog to discover I have another follower!

I know it only means I have two but I am ever so grateful for those two who made the effort of following me.

I know (as I'm always saying) not exactly the best blog writer but I do care of what you all think.

I'm not trying to be anyone else but myself and putting things on here that I genuininly love.

Getting comments isn't important at all but it is nice to read them.

I think if my blog goes on ahead and I get followers I might leave a question at the end of every blog...then you can tell me your thoughts and what not.

I will positively comment back to any comments.

I'm not going to be online for a month as I'm moving and need to be busy doing that, so forgive if I don't return comments.

Here is some lovely pictures for you to look upon.

Do take if you so wish.

I thought you might turn around
Look in my direction
And realize that when your eyes met mine
Stars exploded in galaxies
Light years away.

I wish the world was flat like the old days. Then I could travel just by folding a map. No more airplanes, or speed trains, or freeways. There'd be no distance that could hold us back.Some things don't last forever, but some things do. Like a good song, or a good book, or a good memory you can take out and unfold in your darkest times, pressing down on the corners and peering in close, hoping you still recognize the person you see there.

Fairytales....

2009-09-03T16:42:00.000-07:00

"You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales, that fantasy of what your life would be, white dress, prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill. You would lie in bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Prince Charming, they were so close you could taste them, but eventually you grow up, one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is its hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely cause almost everyone has the smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true."

I now know how blogging can get addictive!

I swore I woulden't post another blog until tomorrow but temptation got the best of me.

I just felt like posting a short story and pretty pictures for you too admire.

Do take if you wish but please mention it came from my blog.

The boy and I, the boy who I knew but knew nothing about, we wandered those streets illuminated only by the moon and the stars and talked about movie stars and coffee shops and dreams that made us both wake in a sweat, and I told him how I dreamt of carousels and ferris wheels that electrified the night and he told me how he dreamt of car crashes and broken glass and flashing lights that lit up the sky in blues and reds, and together we shared slices of pizza and broken stories in pizzerias with no doors and I told him how he looked happy, flustered yet happy, and how his cheeks were tinted a Shirley Temple shade of pink, and we walked each other back down those quiet and swollen streets, our laughter and joy and attention caught only by the sound of breaking glass, and together we watched that tiny red car crash into a brick wall, breaking into tiny, sugary specs like a ten thousand volt supernova, and in our amazement, in our fright, I was the first to notice the wall itself, a towering brick thing, and how behind it a ferris wheel, bright as the sun, was turning round and round in quiet excitement, and so together we stood there, shaken by the curious awe of the world, taken aback by the strangeness of it all, and when the world quieted back down we turned our backs and, solemnly, he walked me back to my waking life.

"I BELIEVE."

Because my song is off the movie "Finding Neverland" I thought it would be very fitting to make my first official blog on J.M.BARRIES masterpiece of a book!

The film itself is beautiful and of course Johnny Depp in my own native tongue (that being Scottish) is every bit the dream come true ^.^
I just think hearing him put on a Scottish accent makes him that little bit more sexier!

ANYWAYS back to the film...haha...its such a beautiful film with beautiful scenery , it definitely gives off the fairytale vibe.

The music in the film makes me close my eyes and pretend I'm inside it experiencing the magic!

I like the idea of escaping into your own imagination and believing anything is possible with a little faith and creativity!

I look over at my fairy ornaments and smile because even if real life isn't exciting, at least people like J.M.BARRIE can write something SO imaginative and make you dream and explore other lands that are not of this world.
