Of Kingdoms and Castles



"The sea-flood sprung up to such a height, and did so much harm, as no man remembered that it ever did before".

Hello. It has been a while, hasn't it? I have certainly missed blogging - but if you read my last post I am sure you will understand why I had to step away for a few months. I had an introduction planned inside my head for this entry but now I can't seem to grasp any of the words. I'm typing whatever pops into my head first, if I'm to be completely honest. I  also had an incredibly nasty bout of pneumonia that left me good-for-nothing for over 3 weeks.

I took a break from blogging because I lost someone very dear to me. My grandmother. Her passing has left a hole in my heart that I doubt will ever feel truly filled again. She was an incredible woman and my head is filled with warm, loving memories of her. I still don't feel that I have allowed myself to grieve properly...it seems incomprehensible that she isn't here anymore. My mind and heart haven't accepted it and I don't know when or if they will.

I think it was important for me to take a break from Eggshell Days and the blogosphere in general, even if my absence was longer than I originally intended. Although, I still don't feel that I'm in quite the appropriate head-space for it, which is partly why I'm going to share an adventure that took place in the Summer. Before.
