You’ve created something so beautiful here on Substack, it’s a window into your inspiring life. The last couple of weeks sound so lovely especially, I love the sound of your retreat too and I’m quite tempted! Xx
Next time you are heading for West Wales, bring Gertie for a run with Misty, in the field at the top of our very own (well, 50yards away!) funicular. You can even sleep in my attic, with sea view, if you like 😊
Oh that’s a lovely suggestion - I’m sure all four of us would get along well. I’m actually planning on persuading you to come to the ceramics festival next year! Xx
Thank you, your encouragement really helped set me on this path and while I have no idea where it will lead I’m happy pottering along it. Hope your cake hunt is successful you and JoJo enjoy an excellent breakfast! x
So thrilled to hear that, Vanessa. Toast for me … the lovely Mrs Feasts makes sure we have a loaf of home baked bread in the freezer. Emergency over. JoJo should be back for lunch! Yay x
Thank you for taking the time to write. Being so far away, it is lovely to get a snapshot of your life in Burrington, a place where we have many happy memories of your parents, the Post House and its surroundings. ♥️
Thanks Cath, the writing has become an unexpected sort of anchor to my week and it’s a good opportunity to reflect instead of letting time just whizz by as it seems to do. Hope we’ll see you in Burrington again before too long 🤞🏻xx

Oh Kate I think you’d love a Glow weekend, I mean I know there are many, many wonderful retreats, but it really was lovely! xx
Sounds a wonderful week!! I love Paignton and that area of Devon, have some lovely holiday memories there ☺️
It’s a great spot isn’t it, though we were told that downtown Torquay doesn’t have much to recommend it on a Saturday night! 😂

We can walk up to the festival freebies from here, through the woods 😊😊😊.
It's a date!
Hurrah! xx
Sounds like a great week. We have just come back ourselves from a long weekend in Devon which has been glorious. Xx
Oh lovely - where were you? xx
We stayed near Great Torrington, a place we have visited for many years. Xx
I always enjoy your beautiful writing Vanessa. Reading your words gives me a lovely connection to the countryside even though I live in a city.
Thanks Julie, I’m glad you enjoy a peek into country life (although I feel like a fraud without chickens any more!). xx
😂🐓
Please keep going. Gentle reading (as I describe my experience) is like talking to friends.
Thank you Sally, that’s such a lovely comment - a gentle chat with a friend is a real pleasure isn’t it. Xx
40 weeks of words, what a wonderful achievement. I look forward to your weekly updates x
Thanks Angie, hardly a manuscript which I know you’re working on, but I feel pleased to have found a way to enjoy writing. Xx
Lovely … JoJo has been at this weekend’s Glow Sew and, as ever, she’s finding it hard to tear herself away from Fforest. It’s a special place.
We’ve loved your words here. Definitely it’s about the quality of the connections not the quantity. We’re glad to have you here.
