Yesterday I collected my birthday present Peter Wood painting - the iconic view of the pine trees and the estuary at Budleigh Salterton - from the framers and hung it in my study - opposite my snuggle chair. It's hard to get good photo - reflected light from the window. But I love it. I love Budleigh and I love living in the South West.
I'd forgotten that I first came to Budleigh Salterton when I was a teenager, still lived in Zambia, and I came to visit a schoolfriend when we were on our last leave here - never dreaming one day I would live only miles away from it and it would have such a special place in my life. Especially the pine trees.
I've taken many photos of this view over the years......
over the seasons.....and in this one looking the other way.
Today I felt the luckiest great aunty in the world.....
and remembered that love is everything.
