Dreaming little girl

Lucid Gypsy 
I love this. “All grown up she did” is so evocative. The header and the photo both offer delicious and absolute visual clarity. I always enjoy the way Gilly emerges so subtly from what you write. What a pleasure on a somewhat gloomy evening here.
You are a darling Meg, thank you.
I was actually in my forties before I saw a windmill, we don’t have them in my part of the country and you know how we romanticize things we’ve never seen! I hope you have some sunshine tomorrow xx
We did this morning: shouldn’t complain. I even went for an unaccustomed swim.
I can connect with the desire in your haiku, Gilly. I remember dreaming of going to China when I was a little girl, and even trying to dig a hole through the earth using my dad’s post-hole digger! I didn’t get far before I hit the water table. 🙂 And I did finally make it to China, at nearly 60! Love that photo of the windmill. 🙂
You’ve told us a full lifetime story, Gilly–in only 17 syllables. That’s something! Love the last line too. ❤ ❤
“all grown up she did”– reflects time flying. Beautiful!
Lovely, childhood dreams achieved
Oh I’ve missed your haiku Gilly! Homeward bound this afternoon and just managed to get a connection to next doors Internet. Happy weekend xxx
I agree!
