    Getting up. Going on.

    I’ve been throwing a few ideas around in my head recently, to do with autism, diagnosis, self awareness and such like. I kind of want to write something inspirational and calm and strong, something that shows how well I have my life together, but. I don’t. And while I can crop out the chaos in…

  • Make me a detective – Career of Evil by R Galbraith launch event

    Make me a detective – Career of Evil by R Galbraith launch event

    Today I went to London. I spent hours on a train (with a book, and a sketchpad) in order to go to the launch event of the third in a series of books that I haven’t read. Ahem. Is it OK to admit that?  It’s just it’s JK Rowling. And while I haven’t gotten around…

  • You can have berries. Or you can have moon. Not both

    You can have berries. Or you can have moon. Not both

    I stood on the pavement outside our house, and aimed my camera at the tree opposite, which has the most wonderful berries and leaves, and was being lit by the setting sun. And then I saw the moon. And I spent the next ten minutes trying to get shots of the moon with the tree.…

  • Sunday morning in the garden

    Sunday morning in the garden

    Bedraggled is the word for it really. It’s a bit soggy out there. Things to note when pootling around in your pyjamas 😉  But if you squint and stroll and look around, there’s all sorts going on. This guy looks how I feel..   Whereas I don’t think this flower got the whole autumn memo. In…

  • Saturday snippets 17 October 2015

    {driving} first to drop Big off for exped, then home, then off to the first Suffolk bloggers meet up where I was available to give tech advice, but apparently it mainly wasn’t needed. Ah well. The people I did speak to were lovely. {watching} Herbie fully loaded on Netflix for family film night. I do…

  • Look down as well as up

    Look down as well as up

       Lesson of the day – look down as well as up. No sunrise visible today – heavy cloud cover and drizzly rain. I spent a while on the beach trying (and failing) to take artful pictures of spray – got my feet wet twice in the process.  Decided I’d walk around the point to…

  • Sunrise in a dewdrop

    Sunrise in a dewdrop

       There’s a whole sunrise in that dewdrop. Worth dropping a whole load of water on my head wriggling into the bush to get the shot, right? Definitely worth running to the beach, even if there wasn’t a whole lot going on over the sea. May have taken some artful shots of wet stones. We…

  • A bit of creative musing, and a creators circle prompt

    A bit of creative musing, and a creators circle prompt

       A breakfast sketch. Sitting in the garden pondering creation. (Not Creation creation, just the act of making stuff. ) When I arrange my pictures to capture a moment of life that doesn’t include the messy house, or my frazzled face, am I lying? I prefer to think I am sharing a glimpse of the…

    Saturday snippets

    {wondering} who I’m writing this for. Hello future me, reading back through the archives to remember those little details that might otherwise escape. Hello kids, checking in to see what I think is important from our week. {reading} Island and Squarehead. Both reviewed yesterday so I won’t ramble on further here. {enjoying} challenging myself with…

  • I haven't blogged

    I haven't blogged

    And it’s making me twitchy, not blogging, holes in the archives. I haven’t blogged, and I’m afraid my readers will just fade away, forget I was here. (Are you still here? ) No blog for days and I might forget the days, except. Except that I have a record of beach days in photographs, and…
