We’ll meet again one day I’m sure… your previous time down here coincided with when I had to go to ground for a few years and relearn how to be offline and in conversation only with family and people in my small town. I’m still living in that mode but when I can be better company again I will DM!

Thank you for holding me in mind. Fond memories always of our mentoring call and then that fine conversation at Edinburgh…

That’s a lovely thing to be told. Thank you Laine. I miss being a regular part of these spaces but I reached a limit in myself after all the book events and mum dying so had to focus on my small town life for a few years. Xx

It’s the first thing that’s moved me to post in months… I do miss how rich my online life used to be but I somehow lost the nerve for being public even in the quiet way of this. But oh the people I met before that happened - and you & yoir extraordinary work among them xx

It’s the first thing I’ve felt moved to post about in months and months! Lovely that you saw it - your podcast is still and always part of my regular late evening listening x

Oh my…. a family home of 70 more years. My mother moved so often that I can’t imagine the deep feeling of returning to a place that has held so much, so long...

And thank you to you for reading. I’m hardly ever online anymore and not writing anything new for publication: reposted a few old things today in hope of meeting some interesting new people to follow… as has happened now.
