It has been hard to find words for this year, this time. Grateful to be living in Australia. Thankful for health, family and home. Inspired by a Permaculture Design Course. Disappointed my Churchill Fellowship was deferred until international travel becomes possible. Excited to be starting a new book yet easily distracted by gardening, cups of tea and visitors. Mostly grateful. Hoping things are OK at your end. I’ve put together a December enews, which you can read here now or if you would like to subscribe there is an avenue for that on the right-hand side of this website.
