I doubt I will ever experience something like that again. I would dearly love to visit New Zealand. I think it must be one of the loveliest places in the world.

I'm imagining the solitude it brought and the comfort. I'm also thinking of the quiet. The one time I experienced that kind of quiet was on Doubtful Sound in New Zealand. Astonishing and humbling. As always, I enjoyed your telling of life and the Landsdowne House. cleemckenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456109243453726483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-56035243924721118452017-08-27T16:18:39.912-06:002017-08-27T16:18:39.912-06:00Big hugs to you, Stacy!

LOL You were always such a special person from my point of view. I'm so glad that we spent Grade 8 as friends, reconnected briefly in the library at Acadia, and reconnected again these past few years. That has been s source of great joy for me!

I feel sorry for kiddos who don't get outside enough. Parents need to share the wonders of nature with their children. Sadly, so many parents are over-burdened with responsibilities and short on time. I'm wishing you wonderful, passionate hours as you sort out your photos!

My favorite book on this subject is "The Sense of Wonder" by Rachel Carson. My nephew and niece recently had a baby girl, and they'll be getting this book for Christmas as parents.
