For those days and for these days: Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.

Gratitude List: Thursday8/6/23

1. Through the kindness of friends I left London for 3 days. For space and for solitude, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.

2. Growing up, the sky was filled with Swallows, House Martins and Swifts. In those times, "one swallow did not a summer make'. Not so now. These eclectic birds are critically endangered and on the 'Red List'. I miss their presence greatly. Thankfully I discover a charity which is helping them. This is called House Martin Conservation UK and Ireland https://housemartinconservation.com/about-us. For Swallows, House Martins and Swifts: Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.
