After a year's waiting and a bloody awful couple of weeks we're finally on the cusp of moving out of our tiny little flat by the river. This is long awaited, things have been getting rather grim around here for quite some time, the river is slowly being absorbed by our four walls and there's a constant mist that steams up glasses and feeds the houseplants. All our possesions are quietly disintigrating and every tiny little empty space we had to begin with has now been crammed, stuffed, piled and squeezed, there ain't been no cat swinging for quite some time. But as cursed as this flat has become I'll still be sad to leave the river and our beautiful view, we'd never have stayed so long if it wasn't for the marvels of nature that present themselves each time we look out of the window. The ducks and swans, herons knee deep and kingfishers perched on the willow, the flowing ripples catching in sunlight and the reflection of the new moon, I'll miss all this terribly, so this is my tribute to my little bit of river.



















I'm a little excitable this evening, I'm looking forward to new beginnings. I realised a little while ago that all the clocks in our flat had stopped, thought that sad and figured it really was a time for change, but since then the changes that seem to have been set in motion have been so out of my control that I've wished for everything just to be normal again, these times of change are scary things, all kinds of things get thrown at you, this week I got a glimpse of how very fragile life is and it was terrifying. But anyway, I feel full of good intentions, like the first day of term and all the darkness of the past weeks has hopefully cleared. I just have my fingers crossed that we have nice neighbours and our new flat isn't haunted.(It's victorian)
I did want to say more but I'm now rushing to finish this before twelve o'clock because I fear my internet connection will cease or I'll turn into a pumpkin. Farewell for now! (Happy Spring Equinox and Full Moon!)
