Treasure Refound








It's been some time since we have written but it feels fitting to begin again with thinking about something that has been refound.   We were back at the foot of the mountains and this little one found a similar treasured snail that had been looked upon a year ago.   Today, after a gift of a day, meandering through meadows and sipping tea amongst beautiful flowers, I've been reminded of the beauty to be found in the small things and in remembering these moments.  

possibilty again






For a few weeks now the trees in our garden have become heavy with fruit. I have spent many moments, usually in the evening, when the day's chores are done, looking up. I dream of long summer afternoons capturing their fresh flavours and turning them into chutneys and crumbles to be savoured for months to come. 

After a time of uncertainty and intense days full, life feels just a little slower again. Now looking up at apples and pears hanging ripe and ready to fall somehow gives me a sense of more space stretching ahead and a chance to slowly rekindle some time to make again. 

A new way.
