Bella,
It's funny, I just thought of writing to you the other day, but I'm just so flighty I never sat down to actually do it. Things are alright, much better now that the fog is finally gone. That was strictly maddening. I thought I was going to die of cabin fever, even thought I know you can't. Same old, same old here. I suppose technically I'm a journeyman herbologist, instead of an apprentice, but I'm still not completely on my own yet. Another year and a half or so. I have my own greenhouse in the yard now though, nothing huge, but it's all mine and I'm enjoying the projects I have going on.
I'm sure your life is much more fascinating than my own, though sometimes I hesitate to ask, simply because I'm never sure where you've landed! What's keeping you busy these days? I do hope we can get together sooner rather than later. I hope you're well.
Fondly,
Gemma
Gemma
