I’m parenting a baby and my world is very small right now. My child is small, my walks are small, my dreams are small and interrupted.

But sometimes a focus on the small things puts the big things in perspective.

Here’s a ladybird in #Glasgow 🐞 😍 #motherhood

Germany’s Laternelaufen. An evening at the end of November when German kids walk around a forest or their neighbourhood with homemade lanterns and sing songs. It’s connected to the legend of St Martin. #folklore #Germany

This was a house and is now a wall… life after life.
