Paul built the woodshed. A quietly modest contentment at being IN ADVANCE (for a girl who was once labeled and still feels a Late Developer) for we are before the Summer Solstice when earths tilt means the light is still lengthening and the earth plants are still expanding. He also took away the bad decision to have a ramp and has replaced with steps. Such a pleasure to have Paul back in the wood. Sorting through the left over wood, finding exactly what he needs. His Bells Palsey has engulfed his life as well as his face. Although so much better, I notice his left eye still hardly blinks. He has had a rough ride of it, such an out of the blue condition.
Meanwhile, Henry has been busy anticipating. He has given the first empty to the compost toilet wheely bin, and mixed the matter, semi decomposed with saw dust contained in some pallets nailed together. It will make fine compost.

It’s title is Belonging. I feel surprised, flattered and quietly assured to be described in a family of Belonging – yes, it feels good to belong in the wood. Thank you Pete Everard Smith.
