For the first time this year I have slipped in to the zone of a ‘Slow Watch’.
My stay here may only last 24 hours 😉 but I intend to luxuriate in every nano second of it :
doors wide open to gentle breeze, soft sun, and cicada song;
table full- laden with gifts from friends and garden;
Gifts from garden and friends
the noisy, bustling, tilted world of recent weeks,
Busy
restrained, then replaced by sweet moments
Sweet bites
of the rightful order of a steady, subtlety silent, tick by tock.
The Rightful Order
With thanks to Nath at Beautycalypse for introducing me to the reframing of time via the Slow Watch.

This is so beautifully written and the picture your produce makes is a joy. I don’t know about this slow time concept but it is obviously working for your benefit. I’m hiding my face in shame that I dared to give you advice about writing.😔
No need for shame. I am in a state of brain fog, partly brought on by a dreadful head cold. I am actually feeling, thanks to your blog, that I may try to write a post which has been hidden in my fog for quite a while. We shall see. Or I may just go and declutter some of my physical files. That is often therapeutic too.
Poor you head colds can really pull you down. Hope you are feeling better soon.
Good luck with the hidden blog gem. Warmest regards. Celia
I am not sure I have found the hidden gem but my new blog post should be up soonish, if, in my sinus-stuffed state, I have managed to press all the right buttons.
Oh sinuses are nasty, every time you bend your head, thumping pain. I’ll look out for your blog. X
And now I have a deep bass voice as well which everything thinks is hilarious.
Ha ha, better than squeaky I suppose x
Teehee, yes. Do let me know when your new book comes out. https://silkannthreades.wordpress.com/2018/07/17/take-a-look-its-in-a-book/#comments
Hello my dear, you asked me to let you know, so here I am. my book is now available on Amazon as an ebook. Paperback in a few days.
Excellent news! I will check it out.
OMG I want to eat every picture in this post. Yummy 😋
I would be very happy to offer you tasting of all the goodies, Lisa. 🙂
It’s always a joy to admire your photos, with glimpses of your lovely home and gardens. Tonight I also enjoyed time on your YouTube channel, and enjoyed more prose as well as glimpses of your beautiful New Zealand1
Z! I am so pleased you had an internet connection which allowed you to visit my YouTube channel. Slow time is a lovely experience but not when one is trying to use the internet! 😀
In the daytime, many videos hiccup from start to finish as they load, pause, play, load, pause, play, but late last night yours were a joy to enjoy!!!!
Splendid!
Home grown goodies are so rewarding, no? Be blessed.
Definitely rewarding. Thank you for your visit.
Love the reference to the slow watch…I really want one of those!
It’s great, isn’t it! I suspect Zoey the Cool Cat has known about them for years. 🙂
Would love to have a whole bunch of produce right at my fingertips.
