Image description: my watercolour painting of a large number of bright yellow daffodils flowering amongst their green leaves in various stages of opening from bud to full flower. Behind is a blue sky with white clouds - the picture has been turned into a book cover with 'Ten Poems about Daffodils' written in black text in a white square at the top. Next to it is a white rectangle bookmark with a small excerpt of the daffofil painting in a square. Underneath is a brown envelope and behind all is a soft yellow background.

The University of the Self #103 Birdsong, Botany and Betterness Part 28

A catch-up on my nature diary. Feels odd to be typing August in November but good to revisit what you were thinking and feeling at the time. In this aritcle I also quote from Pamela Gormally's wonderful collection, which she was kind enough to give me as a gift.

oh thank you so, so very much, I am so grateful xxxx

And it is. Jane's Substack has contributed to my own growth. I've not read anybody else's work for months now, but I will read this one and urge you to do the same.

Jane made me realise that how I write matters more than trying to emulate anybody else.

Thank you <3

oh bless you for saying such a kind thing, I really do appreciate it xxx

Thank you :-)

Thank you so much xxx
