Autumn Gratitudes

The Summer disappeared in a flash of festival fun and weekends of renovations. 


Autumn seems to be rewarding us with an extended Summer, a blessing with the plans we have for the gardens here.


The eldest son has flown the nest for new adventures and is studying in Brighton for 3 years and each of us now have the sanctuary of our own spaces to sleep.  The basement (as posted yesterday) is now bedroom 4 for Oscar's visits.  



There are plans for more space to grow food and flowers to attract wildlife.  The dead wood and trees need pruning.


I am making lists of seeds to buy, need to move the greenhouse and Kirk is looking at small tractors on eBay.  We have a digger to borrow and tree stumps to uproot. 


But this week feels like a settling is occurring, the cottage itself is almost done. The dust and mess is reducing. A clearing has happened. Space. Sanctuary.
