šŸŽ¶ Iā€™m up early enjoying a cup of coffee. After the birthday celebrations yesterday, my motherā€™s apartment is still and quiet. Outside a blackbird is singing its heart out. I grew up listening to and loving this birdā€™s song. I recognize anywhere - here in England, or while watching a movie set in this country. For me, itā€™s the sound of spring and long summer evenings here.
