Nicola's Notes

I am a strong believer that there is more than one dimension to all of us, and that we must avoid allowing life to squeeze us into a single-dimensional appearance ~ James Hall

At 59 I became a part time shepherd. I learned about lambing. I discovered an affinity with sheep. I was adopted by a ewe.

My favourite times are those spent on a farm. People who have known me all my life don’t believe how my life has evolved. I was brought up wearing Sunday best to church and Sunday school. I was always neat and tidy and well turned out. It must seem that the girl I once was is very different to who I am now.

I loved reading. I still do although I'm rebuilding the habit. I've found a handful of unputdownable books recently and read at every possible moment as I did when I was young.

I started taking photographs, age 9. Anticipating the postman arriving with a package of prints was one of the joys. Seeing how my photos turning out.
