The last few months are putting pay to that, thank goodness, but I am afraid it's a bit over-damp elsewhere.<br /><br />I was so pleased to get the chance to meet you and Tom in Suffolk, give you my thanks, and buy a second print which now sits in my room and inspires me (and thank you for putting up graciously with my hesitant babbling. I was a little starstruck, strange as that may seem!)

Your life is just exactly as the lives of people in the tales of my childhood. With every word I imagine and feel that another life is possible. Far from the noisy cities, enjoying the freedom near to anywhere.<br /><br />And when I have finished your whole post, I feel again like that child who read tales (sometimes Russian ones): full of hope, with an invisible key to a private magical world.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing all of this Rima.

This post will live in my imagination for a long time. Through your words and images I could hear the wind in the trees, feel the breath of it on my cheeks, breathe in the aroma of the trees, and I am so delighted to be able to hear the sounds of your music with Tom's storytelling mingled with the sounds of the forest-glade and children playing.
