Ooo Ysella I love this piece. The honesty, the noticings, the pulling things out of the chaos and spotting even glimmers of pattern. And all woven with such beauty. Thank you!

Such an evocative piece. I felt rather sad reading it. Here am I in the sunshine, woken by a cacophony of native birds screeching and cawing. Soaking up every moment of sunshine, warm waters, early morning coffee shops and the vibrancy of people all around. I don’t want to leave Sydney! For now I can’t leave Sydney,

airspace shut down. I know the daffodils will have gone over by the time I’m back and yet, you remind me of other special and unique parts of nature we can be thankful for in england. I will dwell on those.💙

Thank you for reading and your lovely reflections Suzie. By the time you’re home spring will be properly springing and there will be so many beautiful things to lift your spirits. Enjoy Sydney and safe journey home x
