My darling friend thank you for your beautiful words. When we lost each other all those years ago my heart was broken, I am so happy we are back together! I am reminded of the gorgeous Gwendolyn Brooks poem FRIEND. You were always a fascinating creature to me; now you have the elegance, grace and wisdom of life, a beautiful soul. The workshop was absolutely magnificent and it was gorgeous to hear you passionately speak about essay writing. Clever spud x
When you write that closeness is born out of activity, I immediately thought of my sea swimming friends, who wouldnt have become friends were it not for the sea bringing us together. 🦭🌊 (Also, I was in Ballycastle this past weekend too, for a much needed family getaway. What was the workshop you taught?)
A friend is someone who asks you how you are, really wants to know and can cope with the answer. I have one who is far away on another continent, but oh so near!
I loved this. It has made me think of many friends. Friends I have loved. Friends I have betrayed. Friends I want to reconnect with (maybe I will now). My kids who are my best friends. It's made me think of working harder with friends. Friends I have neglected. Siblings I could try harder with. Thanks for this. Your writing is very beautiful.

That’s beautiful, Annette. And I can’t believe I missed you in Ballycastle! It was a workshop on personal essay writing in Yarn. I really enjoyed it.
Personal essays?! That's just my jam! Can't believe I missed you too!

Hi Josie, thanks for that, it’s a topic I seem to return to a lot at the moment so I’m glad you enjoyed it.
