Trees

Three weeks ago today we left South Africa to move to the Netherlands. It’s a huge change. I was grateful for the two weeks of quarantine we had to do, because it gave me tome to arrive, to come to term with being back in the Netherlands and not being in Africa anymore. The trees around our holiday rental have welcomed us. I keep taking landscape photos that show how tall they are, so much taller than the average tree in Southern Africa. These trees, they feel like home in a way that African landscapes never have done. That is a great comfort!
