In the words of Jeremy Mynott:
‘I’ve gladly embraced the discipline of travelling only as far as I can walk, and found great freedom
In exploring just one familiar area. At least I thought it was familiar until I really looked.’
From Spring in the time of Coronavirus, McCarthy Mynott and Marren, Hodder Studio 2020.

‘If grief can be a doorway to love, then let us all weep for the world we are breaking apart so we can love it back to wholeness again.’
