Autumn Newsletter
As we near the end of August, there’s a slight sharpness in the morning air and bit by bit the nights are getting longer. The other day I smelled a whiff of bonfire smoke.

“We often don’t question love. We don’t ask ourselves whether it’s still fit for purpose. I don’t know why that is. Perhaps we’re frightened of not liking the answer. Sometimes we’re too grateful to have been chosen.”
