It’s odd. When I was dealing with all the stress surrounding my break up with Builder Bloke and was trying to work out what to do there were white feather signs all over the place. Carnage sort of white feather moments. Big mounds of white feathers here, there and everywhere and stuck on clothes, hair, bags – it was as if my father was trying to shout out advice…..

Since then, things have calmed down and I’ve barely seen a white feather. Is that because I’m not looking so hard for fatherly advice from wherever he is? Do we always just see what we want to see?

I was mulling over these ideas just yesterday whilst doing my regular Monday morning walk in the park and came across an unexpected sight – a swan in the pond that belongs to the heron – I’ve never seen a swan in that pond before (and now I’m beginning to sound like an old person) but anyway – suddenly there was the biggest white feather moment imaginable:-

Looks rather like a meringue:-

 

 

There it is! There’s the feather!

    The look so beautiful don’t they, swans? All I can associate them with is huge nasty ones trying to get at your sandwiches while rowing in a boat. (Us, not the swans.)
    And yes, the white feathers. Why do so many of us see a white feather as a sign from someone?

      Not sure – it’s a Gloria Hunniford/Caron Keating thing as far as I’m concerned because she used to think they were angels x
