It's the time of year when trees cast off the fruit they know won't make it, to save their energy for the ones that will.
I have found these over the past couple of days; a horse chestnut with tiny, soft spikes, a crab apple and a cultivated apple from Zreče, our twin town.

What delicious, unexpected delight for my poor bruised heart.
The sweetest raspberry I have tasted in a long time - we left plenty for the birds 💚

None of my pre-adult writing exists & I mourn that lost connection with my younger self.
Today, this intention in my 14 yr old hand showed me nothing has changed.
Except now, braver & wiser about my fears of creating & sharing, I get to take that girl by the hand & create what she always dreamt of.

This sheep (adopted from the Lake District), used to sit on my car's parcel shelf to remind me that there were green hills out there in the days when I used to sit in commuter traffic jams. She's happily retired now, and today I found her cuddled up with a new friend.

It can all feel a bit much sometimes, can't it?
If it all feels a bit much for you right now, this is for you.
The minute it took me to make this helped me, I hope it helps you too.
Sound on 💚

The sun before the storm.
Shortly after this I got completely soaked, but it was so worth it for the powerful scent of petrichor.
It truly felt like summer rain and it was so overwhelmingly delicious I could practically see those ions.

Just back from a trip to Glastonbury.
Always enlightening, endlessly fascinating, unique and, at this time of year, beautifully a-froth with apple, holy thorn and hawthorn blossom.

I have just found out that my other half gets tax relief for 'washing his own uniform'.
I am not sure this is being fairly distributed to all the launderers in this house....
