Thank you, Kate! I am very happy you found me too! I tend to go all in on something in that lovely gap between Christmas and New Year and this year it was The Split. So good! Nicola Walker is fabulous 💛
There should have been a fanfare!! I wanted to write you a proper welcome back but this week has conspired against me (I won't bore you with the trials and tribulations of GETTING PAID as a freelancer but it's been a thing.) Anyway, I'm glad you've snuck back in with lots of interesting rabbit holes for us to dive down. I've resisted the Traitors but your love for Alexander has me rethinking.... Hope this is not a flash in the pan and there will be more Musing from Melbourne (have I remembered correctly?) very soon. Charlie xxx
Sam!! Thank you ❤️ I can't believe how long the intervening time has been, but I'm already so happy I finally jumped back in to writing here again. And yes, that painting is a real beauty. So much story told in those rumpled sheets!
Claire, thank you! It's lovely to see you pop up in the comments, always so supportive and I very much appreciate that! ❤️ And a huge thank you for the book recommendation, that looks absolutely perfect and is going straight on my birthday list! I'm over the moon as I'd have never heard of it otherwise, but it looks very me! Hope you are keeping well xx
Thank you so much, Mel! It certainly feels very lovely that people are happy to see me and my words return to the world ❤️ And my goodness it feels good to be writing again! Hope you're doing ok xx
What a joy! It was the best surprise on this last grey day of January to see your post sitting in my inbox. I have missed your gentle wisdom and friendly words. Welcome back 🥰
Angie, thank you! 😘 You're always so kind and it feels like a warm and very welcome hug to see you pop up in the comments today. It felt quite daunting to reappear from the shadows! I've been reading your wonderful newsletter while lurking, and I remember you're a fan of India's arty posts too! x
Sinù, thank you! Always so kind and supportive. It was a bit daunting to press publish, but I'm so glad that I did! Feels good to be back. Hope you are keeping well 💛
Luisa!! Hi! 👋🏻 Well thank you very much for thinking of me! I circled around the thought of coming back for a long time, was on the cusp of forming a plan of ‘in x weeks, once I’ve built a bank of posts’ … and then woke up the next day, wrote something and posted it!! Plaster ripped off and I’m very glad to be back! 💛
Just found you and glad I did! Traitors, the Split...such wonderful binging 🙌😊
Thank you, Kate! I am very happy you found me too! I tend to go all in on something in that lovely gap between Christmas and New Year and this year it was The Split. So good! Nicola Walker is fabulous 💛
I only discovered it a few weeks ago too! Love the tangle of relationships 😊

Charlie!! Thank you! I accept a little fanfare just from you ... and in return look in your inbox, I'm a flashless pan! 🎉😂 xxx
Oooooh! Lovely to see my favourite other Holden (no relation! 🤣) in my inbox today! Super post - great work! 😊
Thank you so much, fellow Holden! I have been dithering and dawdling about getting started here again and am so glad that I took the plunge ❤️
And now that you HAVE plunged, the water’s lovely, isn’t it?! 😘
You’re back! Lucky us :) I couldn’t be more delighted to see your fabulous words again Claire. And that painting, beautiful 💛

I can’t tell you how delighted I am to read your words once again. If I could’ve liked this piece more than once I would have ❤️
