Hi there… I thought I’d better post to let you know that I haven’t vanished off the face of the Earth, or anything else untoward… life just got too busy. Actually, it still is… but normal service will resume soon! And I’ll be back with some update posts just as soon as I have time to write them.
Some beautiful things from today in the meantime:
1) It’s been a beautiful autumn (until today, that is) – glorious sunshine, cold mornings disappearing into warm afternoons, clear views across the valley, the green around me becoming the vibrant reds, golds and russets of the autumn.
2) He’s tired this morning (he, being my friend’s little boy whom I have the pleasure of looking after for a few hours each week), so we sit on the sofa, and I read him some of A and M’s favourite stories.
3) The children are all playing happily in the next room. We steal a few moments to go and sit down to chat, rather than hovering in the kitchen.
