Hurray!!! How lovely to see you here, Deborah! And I completely agree with you about August and the sheer relief that September- my birth month! - brings. Although it's extremely hot here right now even the heat has a softness to it and I love the early mists. Looking forward very much to your newsletters! x

Thank you, Helen, for taking the time to read it! I have been faffing endlessly but decided to just press the button and go. I shall be glad when the heat fades next week but it is still unmistakably beautiful September - what a perfect birthday month!

Hi Deborah - how fab to see you here. Really looking forward to your writing arriving in my inbox. You write so well always. I've only recently known of Substack through my brother's blog and the one by Melissa Harrison but have found it to be an absolute rabbit-hole of delights! Looking forward to your next piece. xxx Sarah

It made me smile to see your name pop up in my emails! I think your newsletter is a lovely idea and so calming & welcoming to read 💚 - I thought of you this morning when I made friends with a diddy shrew who has decided to make their home in my garden 🥰 #searchingfortheoverlooked

Thank you very much for reading it! I have wanted to do this for a while, but September seemed such a good place to start (even though it feels like August!) I love shrews and once had one run up my trouser leg;)

I completely agree about this time of year and have a draft post half written which mentions pencils and new pencil cases too!! I'm so glad to be through the summer and always find it feels like an overwhelming time without energy

Very much looking forward to you being here to share your lovely work and thoughts xx
