What a beautiful posting. I’m so glad it all worked out, although, like Iota, I couldn’t really imagine it going any other way, after reading your blog. Thank you for sharing such lovely photos.

Your writing is always wonderful, and this is a “made by you” gem of words and images, and amazingthings you have done and made.

Learning your Mum is so much better now is the icing on the top for me (I have and live with depression too).

To me this whole time away seems to be not just icing on top for you, but the entire yummy cake of a break away. You are allowed to take pieces back with you too!

With care and many wide smiles, Michelle/Mickle in NZ xxx

So impressed with your creativity. I’m afriad anything I try and make looks ends up looking like a dog’s dinner!

Spring is luscious, fresh and inspiring at the moment – I hope you have time to see some bluebells too.

What lovely photos. I’ve just come back from England. The spring is stunning. More so than normal, or have I just forgotten?? it’ s not just Outpost living but livign in another culture which is so different & where one even after yrs still gets things wrong, can really diminish one’s self confidence. I also find I seem less able to cope with too much because I am used, on a daily basis, to coping with frustrations & stresses of daily life (poor infrastructure , power cuts, bureaucracy etc), that if anything extra needs adding into the mix it induces mild panic.

I love learning to make new things, but I always end up keeping them instead of giving them away as I had planned.

It sounds wonderful and I love the images of glass fusing and colours mellowing.

School in adulthood is greater fun than I imagined – I too have done a couple of courses. The first one, I turned up too early, keen with all the equipment (pretending it was borrowed in case the whole exercise was a failure!) and loved it, the learning experience and also the whole branching out into new horizons…The second one was a taster and I’m going back for more today! This one is climbing so I don’t have to sit (or run with toddler in tow!) whilst my son does his climbing. Toddler is palmed off and my nails are cut, legs waxed (mustnt let the side down) and hours before the time I’m looking foward to it!
I have a few other things up my sleeve..
Loved your silver btw…
