Magnolia update

We saved the magnolia tree. Victory for the tree huggers. And peace and love for the school children and the Board of Trustees. That BOT had to bow to the power of the people.

and from cliche land, good night.

the mumsy look

That's the magnolia thbat we're aiming to save in the background. I'm the one mostly covered by my baby daughter Brighid. I had a fairly strident feminist phase at university (and still consider myself a feminist now) and I think I imagined myself wearing purple and doc martens and owning a motorbike at 36. And here I am in pale blue, holding the baby in small town New Zealand. I still find the mantra 'the personal is political' hugely relevant, and baby blue or boldest purple, I'm not going anywhere meekly.
