No words to spare
So have another sunrise (not today’s sadly, which was a bit pathetic as these things go). Do remember to check out the instagram feed to keep up to date with my pics.
If you go down to the woods today
be sure to take your carrying bag, map, binoculars and little brother. Don’t forget your imagination. There could be fairies in the wood, but you’ll have to be quiet or you might scare them away.

Saturday snippets 3 October 2015
{riding} a bike. I staggered out of bed earlier than I needed to be up to get Big to cadets D of E, and as I met her in the kitchen she said – go look at the sky. So I did, and then I went back inside, asked to borrow her bike, and peddled…

Friendship, community and creativity

We’ve built our friendship online, through our blogs, through twitter, through instagram. We’re watching…
