Masters runner 65+ / MF6, gardener, mother of dragons, Zelda's YaYa, Île de France. New York me manquera toujours mais j’adore la France.

I was in Rouen over the weekend and saw this window display in a bookstore of books banned in the USA. It made me feel sad about what has happened to the « land of the free ».

If you’re interested in the Irish Soda bread recipe this is the one I’ve been making. It was recommended to me by my favourite Irish person. I don’t add any raisins to this at all.

Witchery is relationships. There can be no good relationship without listening. The witch attends the river not just to learn all it has seen as it has carved the land, but to foster a bond with it. For respect starts in hearing others speak their truths. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky
