Day 14 – We have reached the fullness of the March 2025 equinox moon. Not only have we reached this regular monthly cycle, but we were gifted with an eclipse.

As I am hungry to write, I am reading and listening/watching voraciously to books, podcasts and videos where I can learn from others what theyContinue reading “Creating your own shed show”
Animagus = soul food
As my better half, my daughter, Danielle posts our adventures on the Cotswold Way I am drawn to re-member, pull back together, the memories of that trip.
