Really enjoyed reading your tumbling thoughts and hedgerow conversations, and then listening to the audio. Such a rich exploration Lynne! x

Thank you for bearing with them Christina 😘 I knew there was something in there but it’s not exactly a polished essay!

Oh Lynne, I absolutely adore this whole piece and how playful and beautiful to hear you finding voice with dear Blackbird. I wonder how it felt to be playful in this way? I feel like you're releasing some things at the moment and as a result your voice is shining through in a whole new way. I loved hearing the listing of parts - that was so enlivening. Something about your tone sang of confidence. I have been slow to reply to this only because it's been one of those fortnights, but I have actually listening and read it three times already!

Goodness, that is so kind of you to say all that (and share on your IG account - spotted that before this!). It was a hesitant journey but you’re right, something has definitely shifted. Thank you 🙏 🙏🙏

Thanks David! It felt a bit rambly, stream-of-consciousness tuff but that’s the point of free writing isn’t it? You never know what’s going to pop up 😊

Absolutely. Plus, there's no one to edit out silly, odd written, or perhaps questionable writing or fix my numerous punctuation errors!
