I once travelled the world.
In search of wonders to see.
Now I realise they were all here.
In front of my eyes.
I just wasn’t looking.
But now I see.

I think as you older you realise how much you haven’t seen just walking out of the door and around the corner…I always try to take a detour on my walks and its nearly always worth it may something small but unexpected but brings a smile 🙂

Thanks, Robbie. This was about foreign travel, and how I felt I no longer needed to do that. I wrote it in a notebook almost two years ago. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.

If you like in the UK, you don’t need to go anywhere. You have everything on your doorstep [in my humble opinion].

Well, our weather has been terrible this year, Pete. Global warming or a natural change, I can’t know for sure, but it has rained relentlessly.

A new series that I had as notes. I decided to give it a try. Not really poetry, but I suppose it could be seen as such.
Best wishes, Pete. x
