“I discovered a connection with the weather and the life of the
garden while playing outside as a child. The idea of nature as a
bountiful mother was tempered by the fact that, to be amongst it,
I would require a second hand coat, put up with drizzle, and find my
own solution to being alone with the birds all
morning. Still, I am grateful for my family’s
embrace and pointers towards nature, for today
I continue to thrive out amongst it and have
never ceased to be fascinated by the weather as
a truly wonderful force of nature.”
