I cried my eyes out twice this week at two very different but both poignantly beautiful films. One I watched in my living room sobbing on my own, the other at the cinema trying to blink the tears back and swallow the lump in my throat. Both dealt with (among other themes) migration and it led me on a bit of an exploration of the concept.
Thank you for this thoughtful piece. So many kinds of migration…
I loved your story about birdwatching with your dad—he sounds like an extraordinary person. I can see where you get your love of nature. And the slug bit—you are a true nature girl to take care of slugs!
Gorgeous veggies here… and your pistachio dessert looks amazing!
Firstly, I love that you put a slug in your pocket - this made me laugh out loud. Secondly, it seems we both have migration on our mind as the whooper swans just arrived on the lake beside our house and I am overjoyed to see them! Thirdly, I wept at the Wild Robot too, like proper crying. Thoughts on migration are so painful and complicated - this is a beautiful piece, Ciara xx
The Churchfield slug whisperer 😂😂 beautiful words as always ❤️

I came across The Old Oak by chance and how glad I am that I did. What a wonderful film. Very poignant, very beautiful. And yes, I cried.
That shortcake looks divine. Damson jam is the best!
