Freshly Pressed
Every writer sends a piece into the world with little certainty of where it might travel. Sometimes it finds a few kind readers; sometimes it disappears into the great current of words that flows through the internet each day.
I am delighted that All That Light in Sydney was chosen for WordPress’s Freshly Pressed on 19 July 2026.
My sincere thanks to the WordPress editorial team for this honour and the encouragement it brings to keep travelling, observing and writing. My gratitude also goes to every reader who has chosen to walk these roads with me.

One Grain Amongst the Storm 
Good recognition for you and your descriptive writing, Uma! Cynthia would be proud of you.
I’d like to think she is. Thank you for your kind words and the pat on the back.
Wonderful news, Uma and thoroughly deserved. “All That Light in Sydney” earned that recognition; the way you wrote about the Opera House and Circular Quay stayed with me long after reading. Freshly Pressed found the right piece this time. Congratulations, and here’s to more roads travelled and written
Thank you so much for your kind words.
