Just to give you a taste of what we experienced last night. I love playing this with Binface and going crazy at the end. Anguished bliss.

The writer in me woke up. Full post in the bio.. Yesterday I was reminded to be kind to myself. To take things slow. To be gentle to these parts of me that other parts of me find lacking and in want. I am my own worst critic. I absorb the voices that say you should do better, you must be more, do more, push through this pain to produce and be a force for change in this world.Yesterdays shout, bang, clatter and cry day would not have made good pictures. Thankfully the joy returned and we found some wonderous beauty to fill our souls once more. Phew. Especially heartening to hear the youngest loving this world. He struggles so much to do the things he loves and it is music to my ears to hear his squeals of joy at rocks and streams. #bloodybridge #mournes #wonder #rocks #scrambling #joy #nature #getoutside #worthitClimbed my first ‘Slieve’ today. Slieve Meelmore is my new friend. First time out on the Mournes proper and it was an insanely pretty day. Stunning views and a perfect introduction to wandering around these hills I look at everyday from my window. The beginning of a beautiful friendship. #mournes #slievemeelmore #firsttime #mountains #blueskies #happy #hiking #discoverniOne of those January mornings where you discover Spring’s ‘I’ll be back soon’ notes. High right now on cold water, sunshine, good coffee at my destination, a chat with a brilliant friend and a long walk on a sunny Wednesday morning. #endorphins #dundrumtonewcastle #walking #sunshine #paddling #joy #grateful #wherethemournessweepdowntothesea #murloughbeach #murloughnaturereserveI’ve lived in Northern Ireland for 2 whole months today. This is the tree I walk past each morning and I’m looking forward to seeing how this tree will change over the coming year. Winter trees are, for me, signs of hope and proof that flourishing looks like so many things. Standing waiting, waiting for the right time for the buds already there to open, waiting for the warmth. Here we are. Flourishing as we wait for many things and flourishing as we hold steady, reach out in love and are recipients of love. Here we go into the next couple of months. #time #flourishing #wintertrees #northernireland #dundrum #love #movingSnowy park of wonder this morning. Apparently we are in the mess of deschooling. This looks like the eldest at home doing a coding course plus a walk with his Daddy. Me and the youngest had a coffee shop date and some fun trying to break ice. Mainly we are focusing on trying to regulate emotions and adjust to the move. On mornings like this it doesn’t seem so bad :) #snow #northernireland #montaltoestate #amazingpark #goodcoffee #deschoolingArchives
The Long Walk Home 
*Gasp* This proves that the only thing marring the perfection of last night is the lack of Lisa. We really need to work on our version of this so that the ‘spitting out milk’ section is more similar. I need a whole rack of pedals and you need some bigger things to hit!Bin
