Never fear, spring is on the way

Life continues to be a bit weird since Tish and Lyra moved out. 

I like the quiet. It's weird.

I have not been outside much for months, but popped out on Friday to clean and feed the Julians (worms). Then potted up all the house plants with fresh compost.

Life is making itself felt, slowly and surely, as it does every year.

 

Bulbs showing their joy at the rising temperature.

And this little shrub, fresh pink and green leaves just beginning to emerge.

Delightful.

In the empty front bedroom I now have my 'office'. 

A big desk, lots of space, and fairy lights in boxes.

Also delightful.

The Japan countdown has reached 18 days. Flights, car, hotels, bikes, all booked, currency, and insurance purchased. Terrified and excited in equal measure.

Stay safe. Be kind. Go on an adventure.
