3 posts in 3 days… what can I say? I’ve had a thoughtful week and everyone else in the house is obsessed with football, and I have to avoid it somehow. It’s Monday morning and it seems appropriate to post […]

Sleeping ladybirds are snuggled in the small spaces made by the burnt wood as it has split in the burning process. I am working gently around them so they are not disturbed. Possibly they have spent the winter nestled there. […]
