‚You can

an idea,
or the world.

this morning,
climbing the familiar hills
in the familiar
fabric of dawn, I thought

After nearly eight years at Newcastle Uni, I’ve decided it’s time for a change. I’ve had a terrific time and learned so much, but most importantly, I’ve made friends for life and my heart is full of gratitude. Thank you ♥️♥️♥️

Now taking some time to read & write, write & read 🙏
