I really enjoyed your telling of this story, Susie! Fingers crossed for a good outcome!

I think they have that bramble cutting tool here in Portugal too. They are quite sought after at flea markets, so people get excited when they find one.

You’re carrying me with you on your woodland walks - so please tell husband that you’re doing an extraordinary job that needs to be done of whisking people away from their everyday. Go, warrior, go!

Sheena, my lovely friend from paradise… how wonderful to find you here!

Thankfully my husband has resigned himself to my madness and leaves me in peace to continue… and I’m excited too, I’ve just found another small patch that belongs to the same parcel of land… so as soon as this awful wet weather clears, you can guess what I will be doing! X

I can lose myself for days when taking on such work Elske, it’s hard but so therapeutic… I will send you a photo of the tool later - it’s genius and so simple! XX

I can clearly see it in my minds eye, the chopping and clearing! I am very intrigued about the French tool for those ... brambles 🧐

Happy spring!

More and more I feel the warrior within me; the older I get the more I want to do to help, isn't that so ironic though... when we have the least energy we have the most need for it. but I do all I can still, and maybe sometimes more - I hope more! love and light sweet soul... xx
