I love your fresh writing about the beauty (and terror) of the world. You connect with things I share (gardens, sea, motherhood) and expand my world with experiences outside my ken (enslaved ancestors, life in a different country from where you were born). Plus you have a remarkable way with words. So glad I found your IG and blog!
You write so beautifully... It's made me well up this morning. My mum is a sea baby, brought up in Penzance, and my memories of the sea as a child are slightly different. I love it and yearn for it but my mum is fearless of it and would take us swimming far beyond our comfort zones. I'd stay close to her, knowing that she'd protect me. It's been nearly 8 months since I've dipped my toes in the sea, last time was a boxing day swim and the desire to be there is strong. Only a few weeks now, but I wish it was every day. X

Thank you so very much for your kind words, Wendy.

Thank you. I'm so glad this resonated with you & I hope you get to dip your feet in the sea very soon. x
