Today is the last day of our Southern Hemisphere summer in Tasmania. It has been a beautiful three months of quite settled, glorious days on the most part and now we look forward to the colours of autumn. It always amazes me how quickly we can feel the change of season in the air - leaves just starting to colour, the sun less intense, the days shortening and the light through our windows starting its journey deep into the house as the sun starts to become lower on the horizon. We have started our annual collection of pinecones and kindling which always makes me feel like a squirrel getting ready for winter!
As I write this post, my heart aches to think what the people of Ukraine must be going through on the other side of the world. On Kara Rosenlund's IG account today @kararosenlund she posted an amazing photograph taken on August 23, 1989 which showed 2 million people from Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania peacefully holding hands to form a human chain. The chain spanned 600km across 3 countries and helped save the Baltic States. Such an amazing show of unity and strength of the people - if only there was something we could do to show Ukranians that most of the world stand with them.
Hoping for peace in the world and that you are all well as we navigate the next change of seasons.
