This is a beautiful piece and captured how I felt over 27 years ago when my own son was a new born. Whilst I live in Newcastle, he lives right next to Brockwell park and enjoys lazy evenings relaxing there- because I have come to know of many of the places you write about in your books, I do look forward to reading your pieces- today I have a day off work I too have soil under my nails planting a beautiful agapanthus which I adore and reluctantly doing battle with the ground elder. My son is called Keir x
I hope I felt like this 40 years ago ......though never so articulate 💕
😭 You write about motherhood so beautifully X
One of your best pieces Alice ! Xx
Beautiful words Alice xoxoxo
