I saw some profound things today and realised how beautiful it was to be out in the sun on a spring day with my wonderful best friend. I saw people’s creativity and felt lucky šŸ˜„ Some photos will follow of Salisbury Cathedral and its magic…

And as if by some beautiful magic, as soon as I’d finished writing the sentence ‘face my fears’ I heard some huge wing beats outside and saw two swans had just landed at the bottom of the garden. How fittingly beautiful ā¤ļø Yay for nature. Yay for life. I’m ready.

Facing my Fears

Yesterday was a confusing and hard day. After a great morning in the pre-spring sunshine doing jobs, all of a sudden I crashed out and became confused with myself. I doubted myself, my abilities, got incredibly lethargic and a massive migraine. I was trapped in my own head. All the music I listened to made me feel insignificant.

I met this little character today. Mimi. As you can imagine she is a delight. I fell in love with her instantly. She’s a rescue from Romania. It made leaving my harp there to sell that much easier.

I went for a walk along the canal today and sang under a bridge. I love singing under bridges! The acoustics are amazing! Saw my first kingfisher too, diving for its dinner. Staying in random towns and villages is really fun. So many new places to explore.

Goodbye lovely Georgie. You’ve been so sweet to me. Your presence has been appreciated old girl. Hope you’ve enjoyed the massages 😊 I’ll always remember you. Now onwards, to meet Muffin and Fennel 😻
