Things are getting brighter, thank God. I’ve got plans now for the summer, and they are lovely, and I can’t wait. Rest in nature, and inspiration in the city… I’ll be travelling on my own, to places I haven’t been to and have been wanting to see for a long time. I’ll have rest, and beauty, plenty of quiet at first and plenty of art to follow! Sounds good to me.
I’ll be starting slow by house-sitting for a friend, not far from where I live but away from work and the city – and the house is beautiful and spacious, with a wonderful garden and a bookshelf well-stocked with art and theology…
From there, I’ll be travelling north towards the Lake District, the land of poets and painters…
And after lots of walking and contemplating there, and a little pause at home, I’m off to Paris. A short stay – but as I had hoped, I will be in Paris on my 30th, and I can’t think of many better ways to celebrate that occasion! I would think the Louvre and Notre Dame will keep me good company…
Is that the secret? “When you don’t know what to do, celebrate”? I’ll give that a go.
