solid as a rock

A recurring image at the moment is connected to solidity, partly as this last week I've heard two different songs about Jesus as a rock and partly as I've been reflecting on what is solid in my life and what isn't. My parents live in a cottage built about 1800 and the outer walls are incredibly thick, maybe 60 cm. This isn't helpful in terms of getting a mobile signal, but it does feel solid!
I've been coming here since my first birthday, and recently my parents have been discussing how they ideally like us to keep the building on as a holiday cottage when they no longer need it. So this could be the most constant long lasting thing in my life.
Today it a great shelter from the autumnal weather, tho I can't not walk the dog in such an amazing place so will venture out again later now my only set of clothes have dried out from yesterday's expedition. Hope you too are enjoying the elements but have shelter when you need it.

Won't let me upload now so when I get back tonight I'll share pics from my walk during the sunny interlude. My phone bongled lots tho as it was the first chance today for my texts to come in. Then a lovely sit in the garden replying to emails surrounded by a colourful blaze of flowers and butterflies. Now it's chucking it down again i had a doze snuggled up to the dog on the sofa so I'm rested for the damp journey back.
