Could winter finally be over?
KING OF THE TOPSOIL MOUNTAIN
A quiet weekend down the coast that included a lot of moving boxes across muddy planks. Broad beans and mustard are growing on the salvaged topsoil, of course Gracie claimed her rightful place as king of the mountain. Dylan practiced making tea on his special wood burning camping stove so as to avoid humiliation in front of his camping buddies.
SUMMER DAISY CHAINS
Summer holidays by the beach. Lying on my stomach in the grass reading and feeling it prickling my legs reminds me of when I was little. Everything seems so much bigger when you look up at the sky from all the way down there.
PRUNING AND BIRDSONG
A lovely picnic in the Otways National Park with my parents. The air is so damp and sweet there and the cracking of the fire and birdsong is the only distraction. Dylan always relishes the opportunity to be a proper woodsman and pruned branches off the path much to my parents’ amusement.
