Morning cuddles. A massage. Pastries. Beans on toast. Perfectly timed journeys. Epping Forest. Passing each other on a log. A Yorkie. Old trees. TikTok filters. A pub quiz. Pizza. Playing pool. Badly.

Trying the tiny community cafe in the church. And sticking around when I realised I would have to talk to people. It was something different.
Getting a room of senior men in a meeting to realise I knew what I was talking about with one sentence. Suddenly they started looking at and talking to me, rather than just Andrew. That’s always a good feeling.

Sprout, my teeny, tiny niece or nephew. 😍
