Ripples in the tranquility

On this last day of the year, we took a trip to the National Trust property at Styal, which houses an old industrial cotton mill.

A quiet walk around the mill pond here was most enjoyable in the sunshine.

Our year ahead is set to be dominated by needs of both my father and my father-in-law in their different but demanding circumstances. We hope to do them justice in our support. We look for tranquility, but know that there will be ripples.

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year and looking forward to continuing through 365 project and enjoying your company and photgraphy through the year ahead.

Love this Helen - here’s to wishing you will have less ripples in the coming year— taking care of a parents is one of the most difficult yet honorable thing one must do. Such a beautiful image

Beautiful picture, and I love how you connected it with a very special meaning...ripples in the tranquility. Your writing and photography inspire. May you find peace and even joy in your circumstances. While sometimes hidden, both will be there.
