U-turn

Last Sunday I was on the Squarespace website, cancelling my subscription, clicking through all the options until I got to the final “OK” button where it said “Your website will be deleted immediately”. As I read that sentence I burst into tears. Total curveball. So I closed the computer, not having clicked on the button, took a breath and wondered what the hell was going on. And then yesterday morning a comment from Esther came onto my previous post, a very beautiful and moving one, saying how much my pictures had meant to her and how they had set her off on her own photography journey. The timing! As if the universe was nudging me to follow the hunch that made itself known on Sunday, and that maybe, after all this time, I have actually changed my mind. So there you have it, I’m doing a u-turn 🙃

Walking on sunshine

Spent a weekend at my friend A’s recently, and as we all craved an autumnal walk, out we went for a 2hr walk in Thorndon Country Park in Essex, a county to the east of London. What a privilege to be able to be in nature, taking in the beautiful colours of autumn, with the bestest of friends. It doesn’t take much to make me happy - and bringing hot tea in a flask is just icing on the cake.

Out west

I luckily got well enough for a long standing weekend away last weekend (only to relapse this week), to see some of our favourite people. A sunny walk in the fields/woods/along the river, past a Roman Villa, a chilly BBQ cook in the dark and a serious drop in temperature, plus a cat or three. Good times 💛

Re-start

New season, new look, new way of blogging. Here’s the thing, I’ve become bored with my photography; to me it feels less considered and merely functional now - a by-product of keeping a blog for a long time. So in order to keep my funny eye, or my eye funny, I need to approach this space differently. Less words for sure, not so much “I did this, then I saw that, and then I went here” anymore, but perhaps letting the pictures speak more for themselves. Let’s see what happens.
