There have been such highs and lows, which my wise friend told me to prepare myself for.
We arrived towards the end of summer,
then there was Autumn, drawing me from my contemplation to enjoy the simple
things like the golden trees and quiet service
and then winter - which was a grace as it was mild and almost inviting us to stay
and now spring, which has been gorgeous!
The sea of daffodils, tulips and budding trees... and my heart has slowly acclimatized to this new place and people. The kindness of neighbours, church friends and strangers has been bewildering and more beautiful than all the blooms.
