Up a Hill

After all the tumult of the move I have been adjusting to a new home, new places to discover and some new friendships. The cats are settled, and I am creating a routine for myself. It’s a long time since I had one! I know 2020 is a long time ago now but that was when a cascade of events started that saw me swimming hard to keep my head above water. There have been so may changes but somehow, I knew the path would appear. And it did, a bit wild, and untended, but I felt guided to here now, living up a hill.
