Covid brought long dark days of aloneness and longing. Nothing seemed bright any more as I yearned to see my granddaughter and daughters. To while away the hours and bring some colour into my life I began a project with dried leaves. I imagined the fun we would have kicking up the Autumn leaves when we were all re-united and the colours brought me joy at a difficult time for everyone.
'Spades take up leaves
No better than spoons,
And bags full of leaves
Are light as balloons.'
No better than spoons,
And bags full of leaves
Are light as balloons.'
