Nature is beautiful

Darling Little One, Life is full of little joys, many that I hope you will witness or participate in. Today I saw one of those amazing things that happens in nature. I was eating my sandwich in the park and thinking about you (I do that most of the time when I am alone), and rather than throw the bread in the bin, I threw it to the birds. A crow swept down and ate a little bit of bread. Then it picked up a couple more pieces of bread and flew a few metres away to a tree. It used leaves to conceal the bread from view presumably so it could eat later! In 37 years I have never seen a crow do this, and being a country boy that is surprising. It was a beautiful and entertaining moment for me. Nature is a beautiful thing, be it you snuggled up inside your mummy or birds or the sun or the stars. In this modern world it is often easy to forget these joys. I am sure you will see many wondrous things and places, but sometimes the most amazing are there on your doorstep. Love always xxx
