Letters from a hill…
“Happiness quite unshared can scarcely be called happiness; it has no taste. ” ― Charlotte Bronte
Hi, how lovely to have you here, thank you for joining me.
As always, in my hurry to get started, I’ve done things back to front again… but hello anyway, my name is Susie and I welcome you with open arms and a smile to my space here on Substack; before I begin, and this is important, I believe happiness should be shared so if you enjoy what you read here please share my letters with anyone and everyone you think may enjoy or appreciate my wandering words.
A hill and I
Over the 20 years I have lived here with my family I have fallen in love with this small mountain of volcanic rock and it’s inhabitants. So much so that my passion for journaling the myriad magical moments of seasonal change has grown to an obsession equal—almost—to that of my family, a fact my husband would quite like argue! Every spare second I have, which is rarely as many as I’d like, I spend wandering with my camera slung over my shoulder, breathless and overwhelmed at the light, the fauna and the flora, returning to regale him, excitedly, with recounts of my adventures.
