As I sit here listening to ‘That’s why they call it the news’ I’m quietly hopeful about the new term. The summer has been dominated by photography, which is why I’ve been flooding my flickr account with my fave’s from the summer. The one above is particularly special. I had a little holiday with my [...]
I recently had the amazing priviledge to spend six weeks in a tiny village in Slovakia called Ipelsky Solkolec. We lived in a house which had rather blurry edges in terms of the wildlife, spent our days excavating in 35+ heat, and our evenings chilling out with our neighbour when he came to feed the [...]
My last blog post was called ’silence’ which is ironic as that has been how my blog has remained since I wrote it.. I guess I ran out of things to say. Things have been better recently; for those of you who have struggled alongside me these last few months and seen how low I [...]

The landowner hired an archaeologist and a builder to find it, and slowly the gardens came back to life. It’s [...]
“One word, Ma’am,” he said, coming back from the fire; limping because of the pain. “One word. All you’ve been saying is quite right, I shouldn’t wonder. I’m a chap who always liked to know the worst and then put the best face I can on it. So I won’t deny any of what you [...]
So as many of you know things haven’t been too good recently. But there is always light, even when we can’t see it. I have been so blessed by my incredible friends. I’ve become so aware of how broken we all are.
When I was younger I used to be obsessed with rocks and minerals (I [...]
Sorry I haven’t blogged. I have nothing to say so here is a picture! This is such a beautiful place, Aysgarth Falls waterfall in yorkshire. This is a bench on the path down to the falls, and it says ‘A Special Place’… which it most certainly is.
