Description
After such a long stretch without days like this, I finally met up with friends for a day of carving, lovingly organised by the wonderful Deborah at her allotment in London
The air was warm, the sun generous, and the food as nourishing as the company around the table
To sit together again, tools in hand, shaping wood while laughter and stories flowed, it was exactly what I’d been craving without even realising it
A reminder of how much joy there is in simple things: the rhythm of carving, the taste of shared food, the comfort of real world human connection
It felt like a deep breath after holding it in for too long, tonic for the mind, body, and soul
A day that restores you, leaves you lighter, and makes you grateful all over again for community, craft, and connection
