….and both apt descriptions of me these past few days since I have been home.

I shall be back here, with writings and photographs of my days in England and Scotland, just as soon as I am able to face life wholly as a grown woman and not the listless child I have felt since returning on Wednesday. I am being gentle with myself, whilst also realizing how very indulgent it is to be moping about.

Things are looking up today, as I have made progress with unpacking and cleaning the house and actually enjoyed hanging out the wash in the hot southern sun, for a wee while atleast. And look how brave I am to be gazing at the photo of me in the grass on Binsey, with nary a tear in sight….

See you before long.
