Thanks, Ellie! I feel like I'm settling fairly well, though I need to slow down and pay a little more attention to the process, as I came back and straight into preparing the new series for launch. But it did me good to go away and it's done me good to come home.
By the way, another thing that delighted me, reading your post, was realising your connection to Valentin Gerlier. He reached out to me last year and we had a memorable lunch together in London during my UK tour. This was a good reminder to pick up on that connection.
Valentin’s wonderful! His teaching of Blake in particular changed my life. We might be collaborating on something Substacky in the near future — I’ll let you know if that comes to pass.
Dougald, thank you so much! Both for the mention and for these incredibly rich thoughts and threads. Hope you're settling well back home.

Hope the reentry has been smooth and joyful.
Thanks for this Dougald! x
