"A good laugh and a long sleep ....

.....are the best cures in the doctor's book." - Irish Proverb


Home from work early today still full of the cold/ headache, Tess looking after me well..
had to make do with some flint we found on our walk in the New Forest at weekend

Flint

An emerald is as green as grass,
A ruby red as blood;
A sapphire shines as blue as heaven;
A flint lies in the mud.

A diamond is a brilliant stone,
To catch the world's desire;
An opal holds a fiery spark;
But a flint holds a fire.

Christina Rossetti
1830-1894
