This week I am celebrating being fully retired, all the paperwork that needs to be sorted & signed off on when someone dies is done & dusted. The fabulous tax agent in Katoomba sorted both Rod & my final tax returns + cancelled my ABN as I don’t make enough out of my art to warrant having one, I feel so free! I can go bushwalking every day when the weather is fine & when the mist settles in stay home & make whatever wants to fall out of my hands just for the joy of it!
My eyes have deteriorated radically this year so the new light combined with new glasses for seeing distance and new lenses for my reading glasses will keep me happily making and reading for the forseeable!
More Bushwalking!

After a week of living in the clouds the sun came out for a bushwalk from Popes Glen to Govetts Leap

Trust

Grace of Windthread holds a circle of Trust on Thursday mornings at 7am Pacific Time midnight the witching hour here in Oz. I lit a candle thanking the four quarters and entered the circle holding Hope and Love to find the way, in closing I turned the Leunig calendar to hear the angels weep and laugh and sing!
I dream of a world where Love is the Answer
freewheeling!

My beloved 50 year old Raleigh fell apart late last year so I have been dreaming of a brand new electric bicycle for months. On Thursday I booked some test rides & fell in love with this freedom machine, the Lekker Jordaan+. The great team set it all up ready to ride within an hour & wearing the biggest grin I rode back to to Central Station to catch the train home to Blackheath.
It’s a dream of a bike to ride & so sturdy! One of the many fabulous features is a walk button so when the track gets too rough or steep I can just hop off & it self propels at a gentle pace.
Rode to the end of Hat Hill Road and did a bit of exploring yesterday morning, the 12 km ride felt effortless but my legs are feeling quite stretched this morning.
Having wheels opens up exploring more of the bush walking trails around Blackheath, this photo is near the top of the Centennial Glen walking track
very brave people climb these cliffs with special shoes and ropes!
the track gets quite wild in places!
On Monday Cathy & I found the Ikara Head track where the pink flannel flowers grew after the 2019-20 bushfires, love this surreal panorama shot!
Cliff Top Walk

Today is Old Man Crow’s birthday so I walked with his spirit along the Cliff Top Walk
between Govetts Leap and Evans Lookout
looking down into the Grose Valley
hat off at Bridal Veil Falls where Cathy and I scattered his ashes a few weeks ago

weathered sandstone stairs marked by time with all the footsteps
the trail beckons

feeling so blessed to have the time & space to explore these beautiful mountains!

Popes Glen Track to Govetts Leap

The Popes Glen Track is just a five minute walk from my front door!
The track has had a lot of work done since the bushfires in 2019-20
love the stepping stones across the creek
mosses and lichens enjoying all the rain this year
this waterfall sings with the magic of the water elementals

bush regenerating with great enthusiasm on the Fairfax Walking Track that we visited just after the bushfires in January 2020
