Thank you for sharing your lovely poem, your croft sounds wonderful and has a beautiful view from the window.
I don’t think I was quite so embracing of the seasons ten years ago in the way I am now. I can feel myself slowing down as autumn wraps us up. I am looking forward to a quiet winter with a reset reading for spring.
So lovely to read your comment. We do indeed feel lucky to be able to experience this Highland space.🧡 It's interesting to reflect on ourselves ten years ago and ourselves now, isn't it. I see threads of myself—always—but also I'm aware of the constant growing and learning, and perhaps I'm a little more understanding and kinder to myself now. I, too (now that I've accepted autumn!), feel ready for the quiet of winter and the new birth of spring. Sending you warmest wishes at this slower time...🍂🙏🏻
I remember those bookmarks, one was a lamb and the other a kingfisher I believe!? 🐑 Looking forward to taking part in the Five Days of Autumn next week ♡
Thank you, dear LB! You are completely right about the bookmarks, yes. It's funny the things that stick in the mind about the years under our belts.💕 Can't wait to share a little bit of autumn inspiration with you.🙏🏻
What beautiful writing Alice. I truly enjoyed it. Its interesting though - I dont mind the passing of the seasons at all, and often in the high heat of summer in the south of England often I look forward to the cooler days of autumn. I enjoyed this summer as it was cooler than usual. The trees are beautiful here in Cumbria now as I imagine they are with you in the Highlands. Enjoy this lovely season. I look forward to the 5 days of Autumn that you promise (this week??)
Thank you so much, dear Sarah.🥰 I love that you are so at peace with the seasonal transitions, and inspired by your sense of calm. I think, for me, it is the loss of summer, which feels like the end of another year. At the beginning of spring I feel so filled with this sense of "everything being ahead" that when summer ends, I am bereft and it takes me the whole of September (I'm noticing!) to begin to accept!! Now, here in October, I've finally given myself over and am embracing it. I'd like to think I've become more at peace with this particular seasonal shift in the last ten years...but I'm not so sure if I'm honest.😆 Working on it! I'm so glad to hear of your lovely trees in Cumbria. I imagine our landscapes are similar. Five Days of Autumn will be released on Thursday as I wanted to try and incorporate a weekend for those who work during the week. I look forward to sharing space with you. Thank you for the gift of your presence in this community.🙏🏻🧡🍂
Ten years ago! Don’t you love seeing the through-lines in your life? To be in a place where you can look back and nod, and say, yes, that’s me still. X
You're right—it's wonderful to be able to look back and see the essence of ourselves running throughout. There is growth, but also acceptance. It's a beautiful thing! Love to you, dearest Meg.🧡🙏🏻🍂
