“The door to success is marked ‘Push’ and ‘Pull’.” Proverb
Congratulations on taking off into the 2nd year and welcome to the group.
I had a wonderful summer, which included roaming the north of Portugal in the National Park of Gerez, horse riding into Spain, and clambering up rocks and vallies with the dogs. Then wild camping on an island in the Rio Zezere. I learned of a new concept for travellers: Couch surfing. The objective is a better world through making connections between travellers and the communities they pass through. Do check the link and see what you think!
I went wolf watching but did not see any, and considered the controversy of their integration and acceptance into the wild! I have got into reading a specific genre of writing which seems to inspire my writing and travels, and so read in that direction this summer.
I read less than I hoped. My hit this year is "The Wild Places" by Robert Macfarlane. This is an interesting genre of writing - traveller meets place and interacts - not observes. Hug a tree?
To get the ball rolling, the cameras clicking and the creative spirit glowing, let the group know you have arrived by telling us where you have been this summer - the highlights of these last few months. Post a reply.
Looking forward to your being here.
Allyson
