And thank you for not writing about the s*** that’s going on in the world, I do not come to Substack for that, we can all get that from other places. We can all just get on with doing our bit, in ways that we see fit, without endlessly talking about it. More than happy to continue my subscription whilst you take a break, it’s a great idea. Enjoy x

So glad to hear you're enjoying the book, love! Enjoy the time away... I'm stepping away from the screens around the same time. So essential to give the brain a break, isn't it?

I love A Sloe Sunday Scroll. Life has been turbulent of late and this feels like an anchor. It is amazing how these words can calm, inspire and allow the mind to go to a place of happy haven. Thanks Emma for the wonderful writing as always and enjoy your break! I have a week off in October and have no idea what to do, but know space is good to have readied x

Can’t wait to have you at Haven. A month off-screen sounds very sage. X

After a few years of divorce, as a mid life Mum, people ask when if and when I’ll start dating - but all I really want to be able to do is go on writing retreats 🤣………they sound lush!

That's what I'm aiming for. Or perhaps one of yours ? But 2025 or 2026, I will do one !

Loved the book recommendations- I love books about winter and autumn and am making myself a small winter collection that I can then revisit yearly. Sounds a bit weird when I say it out loud but it makes me happy. Have fabulous retreating!

Normalise time off! And resist transactional relationships with the writers you love! Excellent. See you very soon :)
