Pingaring

I was thinking of the lake today, now that the weather is warming up. It made me go back and watch this clip. I love the ending sunsets over the lake. (I just fast forward past all my talking bits urgh!) For me it’s such an awesome way to spend a hot afternoon, splashing about,

Home – by Lorna Madson Have you ever sat out on a hot summer night, Swatting at flies and mosquitoes alike, And wondered why on earth you live where you do, But knowing all along nowhere else would ever do? It’s a strange thing that binds us to what we call home, Even if mostly
