Hope

During lockdown, connecting with nature became even more important for our mental health. I have a small patio from my lounge window, where I would quietly observe my garden birds while working from home. Lockdown and isolation gifted me the time to connect more and to enjoy their daily routines and antics. They gave me and many others, hope...... Hope that even on the most difficult days, there will be a time to sing.

“Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all.”

Emily Dickinson
