Happy February. In the Celtic wheel of the year there are 8 seasons. Today and tomorrow are Imbolc. A reminder that underneath the surface Spring builds its energies for March. A lesson for us all. Lia Leendertz's podcast today encapsulates February so well. A lovely Jackanory for grownups. Enjoy ❤️

Welcoming in Chinese New Year of the Water Tiger.
Something particularly resonates about it falling on 1st February. Perhaps we have a second chance in the second month for new beginnings.

I'm distilling what I've learnt over the pandemic period. I think we're in a period of re-building, so now is the time to build back better. Throughout the deepest parts of the pandemic it was necessary to be adaptive as news and circumstancs were often erratic.
