Thanks Liz. He is doing ok, it can be quite up and down at this time of year especially, keeping a close eye on him. And thank you yes I am enjoying October very much, it still feels pretty full though! Hope you are having a magical one so far xx
Your words land in my heart so gently lovely one. The beauty you infuse into your reflections and writing is exquisite. September has felt very full in many ways for me. Full of emotion, of change, of beauty, of remembrance… I don’t feel in any rush and yet I don’t feel a pang for the summer days either. Just being in this cusp space with a little excitement but also a lot of presence, because really that’s all I can do. Xxxx
I really am so happy to hear that these September words landed gently with you. Yes so much to the fullness, I’m right there with you. But yes also so deep in it. Oooo yes to meeting the cusp with excitement and presence, I feel as though this is a combination for magic! xx
I always get into a cosy space to read your beautiful words! I am celebrating your new offering Lyndsay, it sounds so tender and delightful 🩷 such a lovely extension of all that you bring here xx
Ah I am so glad to hear this Emily. And thank you, that’s so kind of you, I am excited about it, it feels like an expression of lots of different things within! xx
So beautiful and I feel the season shifts and your words strongly. I love how others have similar words and observations and yet they come from different angles 💛 having written my autumn post, yours felt like a beautiful hug and reminder that I’m indeed not making things up but feeling them ✨ sending love to you and your loved ones, big new chapter with school and sickness worries at the same time! Xx
Ah thank you for reading dear Carmen, I look forward to reading your reflections too. I am so happy to hear that my thoughts rang true for you — I love the togetherness in feeling the seasons despite our own personal experiences, in our different locations. Thank you so much for the love, it is gratefully received and I am sending love back to you xx
Thank you Vicky 🩷 yes he is back to himself now thank goodness. And yes a few quieter moments wouldn’t go amiss! Wishing you a beautiful equinox 🌸🍂✨ xx
Beautiful words, as always. And I’m so glad your daughter is settling into school well, though I’m so sorry you had such a scary-sounding experience with your son. But I’m glad he is better. ❤️ xx
Thank you for reading Annabel. Yes thank you, it is a massive relief that she is enjoying it so far. I hope your son is doing well too? It was scary, but we were well looked after and thankfully he is much better thank you. Have a lovely autumn equinox weekend xx
Sorry your son was so poorly Lyndsay, hope he is recovering well ❤️. Your daughter sounds like she is adapting so well to Reception too, the school role playing sounds like it helped with the preparation! I love how you describe September as straddling summer with the colourful flowers, and autumn with the leaves falling off the trees. And how we can take lessons from nature into our own lives too. I started off September full of energy, but this last week that energy has massively dwindled. So definitely feeling that kind of in between energy. Your writing never fails to ground and soothe xx
Thank you for your kind thoughts Jenna, he is so much better thank goodness. Yes, I am so surprised by how she has taken to school so far (I realise we will have our ups and downs!). I feel so grateful that she is happy there. Although I knew it was a big change, in some ways I underestimated how much of a shift it would be for her and for all of us. Haha, the school role playing was never initiated by me, it was all she wanted to play for months and months… I hope it did help though and that real school lives up to her imaginary one!
And yes I am so in love with this late summer/early autumn time, it feels so rich and beautiful. Sorry to hear you have been feeling exhausted, it is a full on month for sure. I really hope you are able to take some time for yourself this equinox weekend and as we move deeper into autumn xx
The Mary Oliver quote at the beginning! 😭🤌🏼
Hope your wee one is feeling better now, Lyndsay. And that after the shifts of September, your are finding moments of cozy and calm in October. 🧡
Ahhh I know, she always has the words.

Such beautiful reflections - I love how you write about the garden and its plants
Ah thank you so much Jo, it means a lot to hear that from you. I really love writing about things as they unfold in the garden xx
Looking forward to reading more!
Hope your son is back home and on the mend now. Wishing you all a few moments of rest and calm in such a busy-sounding month! 🍁
