I'm on my travels again and this time to USA and Canada to drum up some support and to have a nice time .... one is working the other not quite so much!
I have been travelling through the northern states of the US and the southern part of Quebec watching the glory of a New England autumn/fall unfold in front of us, and it is truly spectacular - I am a real autumn lover but I have never seen anything quite like the sparkling range of colours on a Vermont mountain. Stunning, it really raises the spirits.
And that's what makes the downside seem so tough ... all this glorious, amazing colour, big space, blue skies and eye-boggling beauty to be seen everywhere and yet, even here, there are significant signs of domestic violence and child abuse.
Now I'm not just out of the nursery, and I know this happens everywhere .... beautiful trees or not ... but where it is so lush and gorgeous outside then the devastating downside of human behaviour against the most vulnerable seems somehow even more awful.
Maybe when I return to the UK and the rain it will seem somehow better... ?
