Hi Avril! Thank you for reading, and for writing back. I really appreciate it. Yes, I've been thinking a lot about the everyday magic of nature, and am thinking it might be a good topic for my next correspondence. Would this be something of interest to you? Warmest wishes, Sophie
Hi Briana. I know, it was such a delightful sight! I almost missed him, he was so small. It does feel like an enchanted place and I'll definitely write more about that! Thank you for reading and responding, it means a lot. Warmest wishes, Sophie
This is so beautiful. Thank you Sophie. I have one rosebush in my garden. It was my father's, and I brought it to my garden after he died. My grandmother had over 100 rosebushes, so they always remind me of her and her very special garden.
Hi Carri. Thank you so much, it means a lot to know that you have read and enjoyed my letter. That sounds like a special rose bush indeed. Do you ever make tea from the petals? Wow, your grandmother's garden sounds incredibly magical. I aspire to have roses all around the hut, hundreds of them if possible! Warmest wishes, Sophie
heard that if you stick a rose into a potato it will start to grow anew. I haven’t tried it yet but love the idea that a family can do this, being a cousin removed so to speak. death and the rebirth of something different. The mouse with the flourette reminds me of the childrens story about the town mouse and the country mouse… could we have a story of a town toad and a country toad? How would it work, what would they argue about? Do town toads exist? :) great post. Lovely imagery!
Hi Corraib! Thank you for reading this, I really appreciate it. Now I want to try and grow a rose from a potato! I was thinking about writing a story with a frog and a toad; I'll tell you about it sometime. I have never seen a toad in a town but I'm sure they are there, wearing little waistcoats and smoking their pipes.
“purple-hatted wizards, their furred-palms open to reveal the greatest magic trick of all; turning sunlight into flowers and food for the bees.”
What a lovely way to describe the magic of nature that we often take for granted simply because it’s so very abundant.

Definitely!! 😊🌸
He a circus mouse! 😍
I know! Such a great feat for a tiny creature. The floret was almost as big as him!
Oh my goodness I love the mouse! The cottage is enchanted 😄

I love the idea of roses everywhere. I've not made rose petal tea before, but reading your post has encouraged me to try it.
