As Christy Moore sings in his song Lisdoonvarna: ‘everybody needs a break, climb a mountain or jump in a lake’. Now that summer is upon us, I hope to do both and a lot more besides. A little hiatus from posting weekly blogs, some time for new adventures that hopefully will lead to more stories to share in the autumn.
Thanks to all my loyal readers for your support and encouragement, I love writing this blog and your feedback fuels me to keep going.
I hope you have a great summer, that you get to recharge your batteries in whatever way works for you. May your burdens ease, and your peace grow. May the bright days fill you with wonder, and rekindle the child in you. May life continue to pour ordinary plenty, with moments that catch you off guard and delight your soul. Be gentle with yourself, kind to those around you, and together let us look after our beautiful world.
