Beautiful Zara - always where I am

Once again I turn to the things I can be grateful for. I made sure I woke up in time to see the beautiful sunrise. Zara woke up with me and went onto the balcony with me to watch the sun rise.

In actual fact, I woke up when the sky was starting to show the beautiful colour of orange before the sun peeped through.

The sun showed it's face from behind a cloud in the normally cloudless sky

You can see the ships on the horizon too.

They say that time moves faster as you grow older and I wonder how true that is - my 70th birthday on the 21st August is now a month and 5 days ago. Is that really possible?

A pretty post, dear Christine. That is so nice to see Zara and the view from your balcony again! And look, Zara and I have the same favourite place at the table! I can see that you changed the chairs, didnr you?

Yes, I changed the chairs after you left. Zara does indeed love your old spot. I miss our drinking wine together on the balcony but love the view and enjoy sleeping in that room - the best in the house!!

Awww @pandama - lovely! Thanks again for attending the contest #SunThursday - even you did not win this time we appreciate your great content. Re-blogged and voted - join again next time.
