Revival

A message from Brigid ....

I have been a blogger since 2005. At the height of my blogging busy-ness, I had "a small stable" of blogs on different topics: social and political commentary; desert spirituality; food; waste and ....

A few years ago I called time and ceased blogging altogether - although there was an occasional post. I had called it quits. I am an aged woman these days with a couple of serious illnesses. I am not allowed to drive. I am no longer active in organisations. I think it fair to say that I am housebound. I am active on Facebook, although I am not there as often as once I was. I have decided to embark on a re-entry into the blogging world ... beginning with The Trad Pad and, possibly, a return to my food blog, Oz Tucker. I have always used a lot of photographs on my blogs ... and I miss not being out and about with my camera.

The Trad Pad has been my blog for the lovely things of life. The controversial or political has seldom intruded. Occasionally, the spiritual has found its way in, but I kept spirituality for the blog, Desert. I don't yet know if I will revive that. I will stick pretty much to food and the lovely things of life. If I have some regularity with those two categories, I feel that I will be doing well. I hope that, with this blog new friendships can be formed and old friendships renewed; new lovelies discovered; new reflections can enter into the meaning of modern life. I would love to hear from you - particularly if you have suggestions for new topics to enter into the conversation. So, it is a new year. Let's see what it has in store, what it can bring to us. And I hope that those who share the spirit of The Trad Pad can spread the message of a world of beauty, the creativity of humanity, and the joys of simplicity and tradition. ~~~ February, 2017

Tulips


A fortnight ago, Miss Eagle resigned her job. Ill health and continued employment were not compatible. She returned to her place of employment on Thursday for a farewell morning tea. Miss E was presented with tulips. Now Miss E is a girl from the tropics. She knows precious little about tulips and has had precious little to do with them.

Not like that Jane Brocket over at yarnstorm. Jane grows tulips, brings them inside, photographs them - gloriously. So, dear Reader, can you please indulge your Miss E. Miss Eagle took lots of tulip photographs and she wants to post quite a few of them. Miss E discovered what Jane sees in photographing tulips. The light shines through their waxy petals to beautiful effect. In fact, ignorant though Miss E might be, she feels that can safely say that photographing tulips is not like photographing any other flower. Here are the results:
