Yesterday Astrid took her first steps. Today she left the house for a walk with a new nanny. They’ll be back soon.
As the souls of the autumn leaves slip quietly into the sky and their bodies shatter underfoot, another year passes – another circle of time completes. This is my time of year; when nature speaks loudest – the colours intense, rich and vivid, the light moody and sharp, the air teeming with atmosphere.
So close to the end… things never seemed more alive.
