In the days before Covid19 and the massive changes that the pandemic brought, Vicky was enjoying weekend trips, life in the highlands, working at her pottery studio and adventures with her animals and family.

This book started as a travel diary when Vicky had and overwhelming ‘mid-life crisis’ style impulse to do some traveling, she went to Austria on a working break to assist a lively family at their homestead and ceramics studio for ten days. Upon her return from this trip, the diary continued. A compulsion to make sense out of a life woven with many threads. It still continues.

Volume 2 covers some difficult life changes, menopause, mental health, family stuff, trauma and recovery, chronic and acute health issues, including hospital admissions. The seasons come and go in te remote West Highland village where Vicky lives, partner, poultry, pets, garden and pottery form the backdrop to a slowing down and middle aged autobiographical chronological, hastily scribbled during moments in-between all the ‘stuff that happened’.
