The Changing Seasons – April 2019

The Changing Seasons post, inspired by the lovely Sarah at Secret Art Expedition and hosted by Su at Zimmerbitch.

I really want to know, how we are in May already?! Time travels so fast when you’re having fun!

I started April with a little creativity. I wish I hadn’t coloured the flower with pencils as I don’t really like using that medium, but I thought I would try. The second one, I used charcoal and pencil.

I went to London with my sister. We went to Leicester Square and Covent Garden and sat in the sunshine enjoying a couple of beverages.

Then, we took to the tube to Camden Market. I’d never been there before and it is such a fun place to hang out. We didn’t realise it was a big as it was until we started exploring all the little alleyways. We ended up half a mile away from where we first sat. It really was a fabulous day out.

To keep fit, I like to run, so one week I set myself a running challenge and managed to run just short of a marathon – 38.79 km (24.1 miles). Mind you, it took me 5 days!

I started watching 2 brilliant programmes. The first is Our Planet with my favourite natural world presenter – David Attenborough. It is so utterly fantastic, it will make you stare at the wall and say out loud “Oh my God!” ( I do that a lot!)

It’s fascinating, it’s funny, and it’s awe-inspiring. Take the Blue Mannequin bird mating dance:

Then, there are scenes that are so very shocking, but necessary to bring awareness to what is happening to our planet and the consequences it has for every single creature (including us) that live on it:

The second programme is Earth From Space (the clue is in the name) – a mind-blowing view of earth from 7 km up. Satellites above show incredible colours, find new discoveries, and how the earth is affected by climate change. It is truly brilliant!

Have a fabulous May!
