This started out feeling a little too personal - not in terms of the detail being too intimate, but just in terms of a sense of intruding on a conversation between people you don't know, like the story wasn't meant for strangers. But as it progressed to the move to the country, and all the details of getting set up, I became invested. Not to mention all the animal friends that showed up. I'm not sure what it is about the 'tree change', but even when it sounds like so much discomfort hard work, it still sounds like a dream. The escape, the freedom. And right now, in the middle of lockdown, all that space and being part of a community, sounds pretty amazing.
