All Things Bright and Beautiful


All Things Bright and Beautiful



We have been out for a very long walk on what has been another grey overcast day, however, there were still many beautiful things to see. As I walked I found myself humming All Things Bright and Beautiful and I remembered the cross stitch that I made for my niece Claudia for her fifth birthday. Claudia has always adored animals and she loved all the little animals that appear.

Claudia is now a stunning 21 year old. I cannot remember who the chart was by as it is such a long time ago now.

We walked from Trewoon along the coast path to Polurrian Cove, along Meres Valley into the village of Mullion, then overland in a big circle back to the coast path and home.

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.

Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colours,
He made their tiny wings.

The purple-headed mountain,
The river running by,
The sunset and the morning,
That brightens up the sky;

The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them every one;

The tall trees in the greenwood,
The meadows for our play,
The rushes by the water,
To gather every day;

He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.

Sat here in my study writing this post some hounds have just loped past the window chasing a fox. You never know what you are going to see.

The huntsman and the field are in the car park in the cove. The horn is being blown to call the hounds back in, the light is fading early today and it is time for them to go home.

I will be giving details of a giveaway tomorrow but for now it is time for some stitching.
