“There was sun all day and a long, peaceful vista that included glimpses of a distant neighbour’s sheep. And grass. Lots of grass. Acres of it.” Kate Braid writes for the Weekender. Kate is the author of several books of poetry and creative non-fiction, including two memoirs and three books of poetry about her 15 years working as a carpenter.
