So beautiful Susie, what a beautiful, playful experience with your young woodpecker. I am envious - how wonderful. I often saw and heard the woodpeckers in the woods behind our house when my studio was in the conservatory, but in my new studio, I can only see the bricks of our neighbours house and the lane outside. I once saw a green woodpecker swooping through the close between the houses. It seemed so incongruous to see it where there are few trees. Wishing you a wonderful Easter break and beautiful time with your daughter 💛💛
Oh do enjoy your daughter's visit! BUT, and I'm sitting wagging my finger at you, no overdoing it before she arrives this time! Remember....nature's art installations 😆
Ah I wish you had been able to dance your way into getting a picture of it! I hope there'll be a next time. Happy Easter, my friend. Enjoy your time with your beautiful children.
The duet was delightful, and lyrically captured. So pleased you have such a keenly anticipated visit for Easter, the best kind of solace to cushion the frustrations and frictions elsewhere. Have a fabulous time. Relax into it.
I’m sorry about the badger. Living here in Ireland they were mercilessly poisoned and killed over the last decades, and sometimes nailed on posts as were foxes. Now I barely see any wild creatures, and I find it very difficult to be civil to my neighbour and the majority of farmers who continue to decimate the land for beef, forestry and mono-crops creating dead-zones. It sounds as if you live somewhere relatively untouched, how lovely to experience the young woodpecker, long may these experiences continue. I do look for beauty and find some hope in the tiny glimmers of regeneration. Happy 🐣
Such as beautiful interlude between you and the woodpecker, an inquisitive dance while playing a game of hide and seek. Tis' a blessing! Enjoy each moment with your dear Rosie! Love n light always Sweet Susie... xoxo
Oh Susie, such a beautiful piece of writing. I hope that right now you are reunited with your daughter and she is enjoying her "lemon yellow cowslips on long legs dancing..." I know this feeling of anticipation well. I took Thursday off to prepare, picking flowers from the garden and baking and cooking. The look of pleasure on my son's face as he eats some home cooked food ( first year flatting at Uni) and opens a full fridge is just gold. Brother and Sister laughing and asking each other interesting questions about how their year is going makes me weep with joy.
Easter is such a sacred time to me. Enjoy and blessings. xxx
Wishing you a wonderful Easter dear Susie 💛

I make it to this post Easter, but I hope it was a marvellous one and how amazing that your daughter was returning.
May I ask what your job is, Susie?
