a golden awakening to the new year!

For me moving house in November has been almost like a retreat. I've been creating a new place to work and my focus has been very domestic. Struggled to get into planning my work when all I've really wanted to sort out my books and how the firewood should be stacked. However I got some help to start changing my focus. I  was gardening on  new year's day when a large gold fish landed next to me in the garden still alive and a heron flying off in the distance. We have a small pond so in the poor thing went.
Golden things dropping from the sky on new years day is not a bad start to the year. So now I'm concentrating on being in the world rather than the attic.
I wish you a golden year too
cheers
John

ps Anyone local to me in Larkhall in Bath have a fish net? I've found a permanent home for the fish but we need to transport it.

Rather sadly the goldfish died a few days later. I was more moved than I expected. I'd enjoyed the story of how we met. As someone kindly said "John, you did your best".
