Loved reading about these moments in time of otherness. And I smiled at the cartwheels snapshot - I was only thinking this morning how I so regret never being one of the 'cartwheel' girls! ♥️
Aaagh, did you Esther? Thanks for saying so. The cartwheel girls, they sound so cliquey too! I got really good at them. But only eventually. What crew were you in?
Ah the elusive 'crew'! It has taken me 50+ years to realise that if I really really wanted a crew I would have got one by now! But that doesn't stop the longing.
I have always gathered my friends through an intuitive, heart-felt connection rather than shared context or activity which means that most of my close friends barely know each other.
A lot of my writing is around the experience of outside which I guess is the theme of today's post which you can read here.

Cartwheels and the ability to dive from the edge into water (lake, river, sea or pool) are my two most regretted unlearnt skills! ♥️
Looking forward to your next post x
You’ve still time to learn both those things Esther! I wrote a reply to this already and don’t know where it has disappeared to?…
