We took picnic chairs and books to our favourite lakeside corner for a while this afternoon. In a semi-shaded spot, it was good to be out in the fresh air, enjoy the scenery and listen to the birds.

The peace was a little shattered at times by six youngsters with three small motorbikes when the girl squealed or the bikes were ridden along the pathway across the other side of the lake, beyond which is a second lake. But, mostly, they were just ‘hanging out’, quietly chatting, laughing, some taking a dip in the far lake and it was lovely to relish how wonderful it was that they had the freedom to do that without the fear of devastating disruption as experienced by the many youngsters out enjoying themselves in Manchester at the weekend.
We should cherish our freedom, be thankful for it and pray for those who do not have it. So many have been destroyed by warped minds with such tragic results when all they wanted was to enjoy living life in peace and freedom.
Bright poppies cheer and bring hope for the freedom of all.
