Sue’s Underground photo prompt this week for 99 word or fewer pieces, be it prose, poetry, humour… whatever takes your fancy! Check it out here.
It always intrigued me, that little hole… I wandered past it most days, whilst walking my dog.
Not really small enough to be a burrow of any sort, but not big enough to be some sort of manmade cave…
One day Toffee was running on ahead, as he did, and his lead started pulling tight. His barks grew more and more frantic, so I quickly followed him to see what was up.
As I turned the corner to the mouth of this mini cave, all I saw was the back of a little person, scampering away down the tunnel…
Think I may be channelling a little Enid Blyton here, I have been reading the Fairy Folk to the kids!!!

Maybe I am a little mad, but here is a little audio of me crooning to one of my favourite songs!
Close To You by The Carpenters! The sound quality isn’t the greatest but I know there were a couple of people who asked me to post a snippet of me singing… (Goodness knows why!)

Right now I am pretty relaxed, as the kids allowed us a whole nights sleep, and I wasn’t out of bed until 8.45am! Amazing! Hence the slightly later posting of Spidey’s wisdom… So here goes!
“There is something you must always remember…
You are braver than you believe
stronger than you seem
and smarter than you think.”
Winnie the Pooh
Always believe in yourself… It may not seem like you are able to cope, in many situations but you’d be amazed what hidden coping mechanisms we have hidden away. It just takes the right trigger for them to show themselves.
Happy Sunday Peeps!

Hi everyone! Today’s Saturday Evening Interview is with Ritu from But I Smile Anyway! Ritu is one of the first bloggers I had the pleasure of meeting here in the blogosphere! I attended her first blog party early last year. Ritu blogs about being a wife, mother, teacher, her cat and so much more! She even records some of her poems on Soundcloud! Ritu plans on publishing some of her books in the future. If you haven’t seen her blog, you can take a look/follow it here. Please help me give Ritu a warm welcome here on Life of an El Paso Woman!
