Jaye Marie and Anita Dawes

There are bright blue skies and sunshine today, a pleasant surprise after so many grey and miserable days.#I slipped on my flip flops and ventured outside, hoping for some signs of Spring.

There were no buds on the bonsai, and everywhere I looked, there were dark, bare, empty branches. No other welcome signs of Spring.

Just as I turned to go back indoors, out of the corner of my eye, I thought I saw a flash of bright green. I walked closer, and sure enough, all was not sleeping in my garden. Something had decided to wake up, after all.

… showing willing are my baby daffodils, safely cocooned in those almost black leaves of Bugle…

This new and very welcome signal that the grey days were coming to an end, signalled something else too. I realised that something was beginning to change inside me too. I didn’t want to think about it too much, just in case it wandered off again, so I wrapped myself up in writing another chapter of Swan Song, my current work in progress…

(I couldn’t stop thinking, though, so more on this soon…)

Best wishes, Jaye 💖
