finds - watercolour

I painted my July finds in the groups I'd discovered them, three different woodland pathway sites on a local walk.

signs of life - a decade on...

10 years ago today I posted my first musings on this blog. 10 years!

This last decade has seen me move from Sheffield, to London, to Derbyshire with 9 house moves - my much longed for settling evades still, but is getting closer, fingers crossed.

I've grieved much this decade, the realisation that I'd never be a mother and the loss of my own mother to liver cancer in 2017 and that I continue to walk a single path... and so be it.

I've lost and gained friends and done my best. I've relished the beauty I see and witness good intent and kindness everyday.

I'm a little floaty as I'm on day six of the seven day #rationchallenge, and have raised almost £500, you can sponsor me here if you wish. Today I met a friend in Hall Leys Park in Matlock, she told me I looked pale. She also said well-done!

It is a beautiful day.
