This morning, I find myself sitting in my car, in a car park. Just waiting… I’ve added up all the numbers on the registrations around me, made names up from the letters. Imagined who owns the cars and now I’m bored! I was correct about the little pink Peugeot owner though! 😂 I know if […]
My dogs run on the hard winter earth, pure enjoyment without thinking of connections or putting down roots and grounding themselves.I watch in awe of their pure joy at running, tumbling and playing.I wonder why we cannot do this. We feel the need to centre ourselves, to breathe, to feel at one with the earth. […]
