Tea with a friend

A space that feels cosy, like dropping by to see a friend for a catch-up, presented as a weekly, eclectic essay. Chatting about about rural life, self-care, the universe and everything in-between written by a poet, storyteller and grandma.

After the drama and anxiety of last week and my granddaughter’s (F) disappearance for twenty-eight hours, followed by her arrival here, I’m happy to say that the things that are happening now are much more positive.F and I have done a lot of shopping. We bought casual clothes one day and had lunch out in a little cafe
