Catching all the sweet + simple moments
A break from the usual busy stuff- stepping back from the big picture stuff
And stepping into lakes, the wild Atlantic Ocean, jumping into waterfalls, walking lanes and climbing mountains
Getting busy round kitchen tables, chatting + chatting, chopping veg, drinking tea + chatting + collecting eggs
Busy counting heads, making enough sandwiches + getting everyone to the right spot at kinda the same time
Busy having egg chucking competitions, running around fields, eating, getting soaked to the bone in water fights
Talking late, sleeping late + getting drunk on the country air, the best ginger cake, aunty Bridies trifles and cousins, so many cousins
Really busy being in it
Our family gatherings are magical ✨ really just so very special
A festival of family from the littlest to the wisest, sharing the same table + land + stories that we have gathered around + on + shared forever
I’m climbing up the generational ladder- I’m no longer one of the young ones - somewhere around the middle!
Each year that passes I appreciate what we have deeper + nothing warms my heart more than watching the freedom of the young ones whilst sitting a little closer and listening a little more intently to the elders
We are truly the rich ones - like top 1%
Very very grateful 🙏🏻
