The colour black

 Black

1.

lacking hue and brightness; absorbing light without reflecting any of the rays composing it.

2.

characterized by absence of light; enveloped in darkness: a black night.

Today's colour is black. Quiet, practical, composed, ambiguous, conservative, uncertain, bold.

Black is a contradiction - it is both the combination of all the colours and the absence of any colour. It is commonly associated with negativity, mourning, solemnity, hopelessness. Yet black is also hope. It could be hiding a million possibilities. Black only exists in our imaginations - there is nothing in the natural world that is completely black.  

 Things that are good that are black:

Black cats

Blackberry and apple stew made by my Mum

Black patent shoes

'Blackbird' by the Beatles

Black Indian ink
A black starry sky.

Let Go

It has been a year since I last updated my blog, but after some encouragement from family - I finally decided to start again...

I thought I would start it off with a quote which seems to be applicable to more than one area of my life at the moment. 

Father's Day

In preparation for the coming Sunday - I have made a card for my Daddio! Not great photo's at the moment but will try and get some better ones and update them. Also I now realise that I need to add some apostrophes here and there!

I could write many a blog post on stories about the man who is my Father but this weekend I'm going to show my appreciation for everything he does for me. My Dad is one of the most determined, ambitious and hard working people I know and he has always fought for me and been there to make me smile! Love you Dad xxx
