Susie, I am reading this two years after you wrote it. It seems like these travails haven’t ceased in the interim. Ups and downs, just like your hill. And you somehow survive to tend yet another sheep and take another walk and breathe the air of your sacred place. xx

I really love your stories and your style of writing, Susie! 💗 It is as if I’m walking along with all you do and all your adventures. Though I definitely couldn’t keep up with your tempo! 😉

Thank you, to someone who is so uncertain of what she's doing here, that means so much JoAnne, and you know what, I can't keep ups with me sometimes either... my lists nearly kill me sometimes ! have a lovely afternoon xx

I think without the energy and nourishment of mind and soul that nature gives me Elske, I would be incapable of doing the rest... We all need a little time for reenergising don't we?

thanks always my lovely friend - have a wonderful weekend xx

Good grief Susie... the unsought escapades never ends does it? You have an overwhelming amount of patience and fortitude, the drive to push through. You truly are remarkable. Big hugs and much love 💕

I have no choice darling, as you know well, nobody else will do it if I don't, some days its tough but you know also that mostly I love this crazy life I lead - if only I didn't have to work in class as well it would be perfect! And I always have nature to fall back on, thank goodness! love you my sweet bestie - hugs always xxx

Be relieved - It is exhausting, too exhausting - mostly because I have to cram all of this into school holiday time, which is why my lists are always so long… and you know what, the jobs are never finished, they get carried over to the next holidays and the next and the next… September is the only month of the year when I can categorically state, I have nothing to do…. It really is chaos the rest of the time!
