‘Hope’ is the thing with feathers…

…as Emily Dickinson wrote.

And, as REM’s Michael Stipe wrote in the classic song ‘These Days’, https://youtu.be/zIqQlCkvE0g

“We are young, despite the years.
We are concern.
We are hope, despite the times”

I should’ve been visiting family and friends in London with M this weekend but instead I’ve spent a week at home in splendid isolation with Covid. I’m on the mend now though, enjoying the sunshine and hoping for better times ahead!

Happy Easter/Passover/Ramadan/non-denominational holidays to all!

And a very happy 10th birthday to my much-loved niece.
