Winter afternoon sunshine, Bolsover

View up the hillside at the back of the house, seen during a brief break in the clouds. It was good to see the light look so warm and cheering.

Everything seems rather strange after yesterday. The joyfulness of the occasion was genuine and right, exactly what Ruby would have wished. Today there is the almost inevitable flatness and sadness - it would however be quite unnatural not to feel this way, I suppose.

My own Christian life seems so faltering and paltry compared with so many like Ruby who have lived consistent and full lives. I really need a sense of direction for the way forward soon.
