The one about… Mothers and Daughters

My daughter has spent the last month paragliding over Indonesian clifftops, climbing mountains and descending into volcanoes whilst I've sowed seeds, pruned the roses and potted on cobaea seedlings and all's right with the world.

It’s a woman thing in our house -sowing seeds and being curious. Nurture in the home and adventure outside it. Every year on International Women’s Day we honour the women who shape our lives. But in amongst the posts about the pioneers who broke the mould, the women who refused to conform, who succeeded against the odds, the achievers there is a quieter story that that unfolds every day in the shared moments between mothers and daughters.

It’s in what is valued, what is instilled, what is encouraged and what is modelled by one generation to the next and so today I want to celebrate that.
