Yes exactly Raymond, it's such an incredible story, I think of it often when I'm getting a little eco-anxious. We can do this together, they seem to say in the sky.
Lovely read, I felt so cosy and enjoyed immersing myself in alll these details. The journe prompts I need more time to refflect with but I would say I have been paying a lot of attention to the clouds lately, so different here throughout every day. Also I just went shopping and had a sudden urge to buy a range of vegetables, different ones than I usually buy, eating the rainbow! Perhaps this is how I am marking things today, and I express my gratitude with my hand on my heart.
Beautiful Melinda, I am a little obsessed with the clouds at the moment as they’ve returned and there are so many different names for clouds - it’s a specialism within itself. There was one last night here that looked like a high surf with the light scattering down it as its frills drifted out into rain. Gorgeous. I love the idea of going out and buying new vege where you are - so much fun and such physical creativity as you get to have new tastes! I hope the move has all gone well x
Oh yes, I don't know the names of the clouds it must be fascinating! I'm mid sort out of the possessions still a while before Thailand but it is all going well thank you so much! X
Such tender reflection of return - did you plant them back yourself or did they naturally appear? I love the pacing and delicacy of this, room for you both in the end 💚
I love this Raymond, what a great first note to receive today 🪽 I can see the storm of Red Kits in my mind - they are such creatures of hope, an emblem that things that dwindle will return x

Lammas Evensong
Brisk, excited chitter of a pair of Blue Tits investigating the Lilac bush beside the window,
Rapid ticking of a Robin atop the garden's back fence,
The repeated teck-teck call of a Blackcap perching on the neighbour's shed roof,
Distant, low-pitched kraa-kraa-kraa of a pair of Carrion Crow balanced in a tree aback the railway line
Familiar, friendly sounds in an unfamiliar place made less unaccustomed by their presence.
When I first saw the yellow and black
It took my breath away
Rows upon rows
Reaching their petals to the sun
Tall green stems
Hardy and thick
I wiped a tear
As they were torn down
To make room for
My home
My heart was healed
As I look to my back acre
And see them return
To me
Forgive me
For destroying their lineage
Such tender reflection of return - did you plant them back yourself or did they naturally appear? I love the pacing and delicacy of this, room for you both in the end 💚
No amazingly they just showed up 20 years later
Even more brilliant 💛🖤
Obsessed with Bob Ross on screen!
Let's make a Bob Ross inspired revolution with our pens!
Heck yeah!
White-barred red wings,
Circling, soaring, sweeping,
Majesties of the air,
Majesties of my heart,
A round dozen Red Kites,
True joy their presence brings.

Thanks!
They are very much an emblem of hope, the way we almost lost them altogether in this country, and then they recovered magnificently.
