post dinner and we’re all sat solitary in the living room, our faces lit by our devices, the dog sleeps. i glance through the curtains at the last of the daylight backlighting a chimney and digital arial. this day has […]
out of the window i see natures marks place upon a foggy canvas. the recent extreme weather affording time to eat, relax, tidy piles of paper and spend time with the family. my fingers tingling with excitement as i compose […]
part of being human is the sharing of experience and today is one of those once in a while days. our dog florence jumps up onto the window sill and once again sets to watch the swirling snow fall with […]
my phone has been lighting up with yellow warnings of snow – i look out the window and the bight sunlight makes my eyes squint, the bluesky clear of cloud. warnings of things to come. its been half term so […]
