Your prose is so heart-warming, Marchelle, like a soothe to the noise of life.

Hi Marchelle, I ordered your book, I had to get it on Amazon, it doesn't seem to be available through Irish bookshops, I wonder why? Anyway, cant wait to read it! And congrats on winning the Nan Shephard, I had no idea! 💕

Hi Ali, thank you so much for your incredibly kind words! I appreciate your support so much. ❤️ What a shame about the Irish bookstores though - could you let me know which you tried & I’ll pass it on to my publisher. I’m keen to help support independent bookstores as much as possible!

Aaargh... your writing is so achingly beautiful! I'm not a gardener myself, my garden has planted and nurtured itself, with a nudge here and there from me. I share your feelings of overwhelm at the abundance of life and energy, and it gives me so much hope. Thank you for sharing this excerpt, and best of luck with releasing this book-baby into the world! I wish you every success. I'm off now to get myself a copy. 💕
