BamBoo

I love the earthiness of bamboo & its simple strength.

I love the smell of it when its dried, the sound it makes as the wind blows through a grove, the vivid colour and shape of its leaves and even the taste of its shoots.

I love that it brings back memories of teetering scaffolding in Denpasar, of dirt poor street vendors roasting corn on the streets of Kathmandhu and of trekking through rainforests holding my sons hands in Malaysia while torrential rains swelled the streams to torrents..

Here's to you bamboo..
