I love this Mark. Love love love it. I didn’t know you were a fan of Japan! Do you follow Beth Kempton? She’s really been excellent support on my writing journey and has written a host of excellent non fiction books all based in some way on Japan as she is a Japanologist and weaves in just excellent writing on how to live. She has a free summer writing sanctuary on at the moment you could join if you fancied a taster of it xx

Thank you, lovely one! 🫶 I’m glad you like it - you inspired me to crack on with my own hero post, of sorts.

No I haven’t! Will definitely be taking a nosey when I’m home tomorrow 👀 Thank you! I came out if the womb loving everything Japanese - my family couldn’t understand why, being traditional farmers through and through 😄

That crate in the banana bread shot is so commendably square in the frame... but also: it's been fun to see you find your way here on Substack, with the camera, and in the kitchen. Wishing you and the letter ever more followers and success.

Matt - Thank you, as always, for your words of encouragement! It means a lot, especially coming from someone I look up to. Here’s to limitless skies 🙌

Ps. That is probably in my top 3 photos I’ve taken this year! Ever so slightly irritating my perfectionist side that the floor board isn’t exactly 90° too 😅
