So many beautiful lines in this one Kate. Sister's Bay sounds just perfect. I'm glad you're all over the flu and back doing the things you love.

Beautiful, Kate. Glad you’re all on the mend. I’m traveling and so behind on the stories. Looking forward to reading yours. 💚

This is lovely. Made me think of Pamela Allen's book Grandpa and Thomas, with the wish swash of the sea.

A beautiful piece ☺️ what better way to celebrate the return of good health than to be clambering all over rocks by the sea. I hope you were all filled with the peace & wholeness of nature & are feeling 100% now 😊

Oh well - and now it's morning...

You paint a lovely picture, Kate. It makes me think of days walking along beaches and headlands with my own children, all now now grown. Now I'm doing it with their children....

The stones do have stories and, yes, humanity will become just another one of them.

Best Wishes - Dave

Thanks Dave, they are the best moments, beach combing together with your kids (and grown up ones).

Take care,

Kate
