Two Little Things

Two Little Things

It’s amazing how little things can turn around your day or week, I had two this week. If you think about it there is always something that makes you smile, lifts your spirits or inspires you. Sometimes you just have to take the time to notice them!

First One



"Kiss" and others at the Kyneton Library.

A friend posted a picture of my book on Facebook; (Kiss of the King Brown) it had been displayed along with others in the front foyer of the local library as part of an Australiana display. It’s always nice to see something you have created being useful and used. Maybe it even helped or inspired someone or they might just have enjoyed the read. Who knows but maybe it is just good for my ego, either way it felt good.

Second One

I have loved lemons all my life as a boy I would eat them raw or with a coating of sugar. I put them on a lot of my food. We live in Kyneton a beautiful and wonderful place to live. But alas not a place that lemons love, the coldness and frosts are anathema to them. I have done many things in Kyneton but growing a successful lemon tree had not been one of them. I have killed four of them in my endeavours to grow one.

Until yesterday! Eighteen months ago I planted a lemon tree in the corner of my hot house. I know it is kind of cheating but then innovation is the brother of success they say. I harvested three rather small but beautiful lemons from my own lemon tree yesterday. I have never tasted a lemon so sweet!

Taste a lemon, read a book. That's what life is all about.
