1. I'm reading this in Greenwich Village New York.
2. I miss my Irish woodland, whenever I'm away, but it's good to be away to appreciate what we have.
3. If we had coffee, I'd like to talk about what you say about the life you've built. The lives we build for ourselves, the how, the when, the why, seems to me like an interesting kick-off for a good chat over coffee. Love the artwork, btw.
I'm in Minneapolis, in a home I've lived in since 1995. My wife and I have had lots of improvements done over the years so it is a home we love. We also love having people over for dinner and brunches especially in the summer when we can sit out on the patio in the garden.
We plan on moving to Europe when we retire. Right now, I would love to be in the Cinque Terre area of Italy.
If we met for coffee we could talk about all sorts of random interesting things, like New York during the gilded age, women in history, what kind of fiction we like, food and cooking, are we the only planet with life, what was there before the big bang. I can ramble on about gardening but have gotten better at telling when people aren't interested. I became a volunteer master gardener so I didn't bore my wife too much!
I'm writing from my couch in Vancouver, BC, which I've called home for 8 years. Moved here from Ireland for no other reason than to shake up my life and leave unhealthy patterns behind. I miss it and my friends and family, but I love my life here.
I'd rather be anywhere near a cool body of water to swim because it's unseasonably hot here and currently 25°c. I'd love to visit all the places that others have mentioned in their comments. I definitely miss Europe so much and having easy and cheap access to so many different countries. I'm hoping to do more of Italy, Greece and Croatia next time I'm back that way.
After I figure out whether you are Barry's or Lyons and what your favourite biscuit is 😉 I'd love to chat about reconciling with your body after hospitalization and illness...and learning to trust your body again. I'm not sure what your hospitalization was for, but I've had Crohns disease for half my life and I'm no stranger to hospitals. Even though I've been in remission for a long time, I struggle to find home in my body. I'm working on it and getting there slowly but damn it's hard!
1. I’m sitting in a coffee shop in Kansas City- the heart of the Midwest.
2. I have been craving the cold, mountain rivers and fresh sage scent of summer in Colorado. My family vacationed there growing up- it was a time for the whole tribe to get together, cousins, grandparents, aunts and uncles. We’d spend a week on the river in rustic cabins formally used by Teddy Roosevelt on his hunting expeditions.
Waking up and falling asleep to the sound of the water gurgling over rocks, eating, playing and fishing together we’re some of my favorite moments. A lot of my family has moved or passed away, including my Dad who loved Colorado and was always happiest there. I’d love to go back to that time and place to fish with him and hear his laughter and delight when I finally caught something.
3. I’m sure we’d dive straight into the deep end- talking about what makes a home, sharing our travel experiences, waxing nostalgic about the past and the future. 💗
I am reading this from Los Angeles where I am visiting my brother because he has a yard and I don’t and I needed one for my dogs for a bit while healing from a fractured ankle.
But I live in San Francisco which is where I moved seventeen years ago for no other reason than that I love it and feel my most creative self there. It has its flaws but sometimes you can fall in love with a place like you do with a person and I am lucky I found that place.
I love conversing about most things especially people’s uniquely niche interests. My specific passion is exploring the intersection of art and mental health so I would probably find my way to the topic.
I am writing this from my office in the attic of my stone build terraced cottage in a teeny village by the woods and a river, surrounded by fields, NE England.
I am happy here but I would also like to be reading this from a beachside cafe somewhere on the Dalmatian coast, under a massive umbrella in the shade, watching the sea sparkle, ordering iced coffee.
What would we talk about? Ooh, deep stuff. Fears, boundaries, limiting beliefs, where our lives are heading, what we will write about next.
Connecting without even thinking about the need to connect is a perfect coffee date! Meeting the other exactly where they are in life , sharing laughter, stories, frustration! A coffee date with people who I enjoy and feel safe , allows me to be present and vulnerable to learn and to be ! 💕
Beautiful Tamzin - I adore hearing more of your story about being here! I’m in Northumberland by the coast in the UK, I’d be waking up somewhere warm surrounded by mountains if I could but it is beautiful here too. If we met for coffee I’d love you to tell me about a book you’d read that changed you and your outlook in life or a favourite walk you like to do. Or we could just chat about magic and writing and finding connection. I’d love that too. ☕️✨🪄

This brought a big, big smile to my face this morning! 💕
Hopefully someday soon, you and I will have coffee in some tiny town in Spain. And my soul will do a backflip!!

Ahh, I so hope to be able to also be primarily a writer as my “job” as well. Your success is inspiring :)
