I love writing my journals and poetry while sat at my writing desk in our study. I look out into our garden at the star magnolia and black bamboo as mentioned in the poem. It feels wonderful to be surrounded by my books on the Himalayas, Mount Everest, travel and poetry.
I took this photo of my writing desk last Wednesday when we had the first lot of snow!
My new poem 'Now!' is in my poetry anthology on 'Beyond the Sacred Mountains'.
