Thank you - I love it too - I wrote it in my phone whilst I was out in London. It struck me that you have to go and experience with your soul wide open to be able to translate the world into art, into writing, into poetry.....

I recently did a solo trip to The Higgins Bedford to see the Ravillious & Me exhibition. First time solo and I loved it. Iā€™m going to leave my husband at home more often šŸ˜‚

It sounds an excellent trip. The experience I have on solo trips is often very different from those with a companion. I have time to reflect, to create, to imagine , to be curious.

Co incidentally I'm in London today. The energy, the kindness, the soulful beauty of the city has gladdened my heart.

Thank you for your words.

Lovely, Helen. I haven't been to London for ages. Quite reluctant, to be honest, but you've inspired me to contemplate it again.

I used to live there and keep up with the fast pace. Now I take it slowly and let the world zoom past.

I also used to live there on different occasions in my life. Letting the world zoom past sounds like the best way!
