Nature and Hive keep giving us free stuff!

Some of you may know I have a new GP surgery (general practitioner) which was all fine and dandy in the summer.

However now it is winter it is not as rosy!

I am publishing this in our Silver Bloggers community for a variety of reasons, chiefly because I bloody well can!

Baically we can't book appointments in advance. You have to phone in the morning to see a nurse or doctor and the only appointments are for the same day.

I had been trying unsuccessfully to even get through on the phone (I kept getting the busy signal) when I looked out of the wee kitchen window.

Just look at those colours!

Suffice to say, I got my arse (apparently it is really biggggg according to @deraaa , really the youth of today!) quickly outside and snapped a couple of shots before it was gone.

So what was behind the net curtain?

Only the most beautiful of skies.

Nature outdoing herself again and again!

Just look what she showed us for free!

This was around 9am.

I still was on the phone with the doctor's surgery!

Yes I had managed to get through!

I was in a queue on the phone and was number 13. If I hadn't been needing to talk to them, I would have run down to the beach and snapped some pictures as it would have looked gorgeous!

Not that it mattered, mother nature had lifted my mood!

So this was what nature had give us for free at 9am in the morning!

I hear you though ... yeah what about the Hive stuff?
