This week vanished in a whirl…of activity, visitors, conversations, heart-to-hearts…all apt perhaps, given the significance of a period that marks “a season of reflection, transition and duality…the interwoven energies of death and rebirth…the New Year of the natural world: the introspective season in the southern hemisphere; a time for planning, evaluating and preparing for the year to come”
I’ve alway wanted a wee island in a dam, but none of ours are big enough…and the regulations (if I had the fiscal means) applying to expansion are draconian these days. Fortunately the view from my seaside allotment embraces a couple of islands, though I suspect I won’t be rowing out to them anytime soon ! That video of the boat emerging from the smoke is lovely, as is the image of the two of you having (literally) embarked on married life.
I don't think we'd be able to do it today either India! We always did mean to build a pier / dock for the Pea Green Boat...but that never eventuated... I think it's extremely exciting that you can SEE islands from the seaside allotment - you don't need to land on them to have all kinds of imaginative explorations :))) We did embark - on that you're so right!!
