Hailing from Scotland and now living in Cornwall, UK. A window gazing lover of river and clouds. Trying to live deeply but lightly.
I couldn’t do too much today but here in Cornwall it was like a lesson in beholding the sheer abundance of nature and the immense comfort it can bring. No matter how I feel, I know there will always be surprising beauty waiting in the wings to be noticed. Every walk on part happens around… Read more
Oh my. Feeling at one with the Cosmos here in Cornwall. What a gobsmackingly gorgeous sensation of a flower that’s just bloomed for the first time with its presence. How is such beauty even possible?? Flowers, like petalled angels sent to astound us. I intend to sit and look at it for hours – and… Read more
It is as the night sky falls to sleep that my heart wakes upon seeing it. I see the yellow glow of my neighbour’s window as if it’s perched low in that silhouetted tree. A crescent moon dangles beneath the white wispy streak of the last cloud to retire. Like the villagers of Cargreen in… Read more
Through my car window I spied what can often look like a fairytale land. I sometimes drive from Cornwall to Dartmoor in Devon when I want to be at one with the elements. When I want the wind to blow me away so I feel like I can start again. When I have the urge… Read more
Today was one of those rather hard days that rocked me – for a number of reasons all happening at once. I know that’s the way life is sometimes and the exact nature of any bad news is almost irrelevant. The point is, there was nothing I could do to change it. Even if I’d… Read more
The moment I think I’m seeing things. Then I realise it’s true. That is indeed the view from my window in Cornwall on a MUG that’s now supporting this amazing group of over half a million people in 165 countries across the world to keep going. Yep. One of the more unexpected outcomes of lockdown… Read more
Sometimes I feel like driving to a place I know not where. To get willingly lost down roads I’ve never been down before. To move away from the familiar into the zone of the new. To unfolding places where I feel anything might be possible. Today, I did just that in Cornwall – and ended… Read more
Found my way to Plymouth for the first time in 3 months. That city where I work that has been closed down for so long. Sitting on a bench on a glorious summer day – by the door of a mighty lighthouse under the almost translucent wings of a passing seagull. An awakening. Reminding me… Read more
Like the night sky here in Cornwall I realise I too have changed in mysterious ways. This virus and lockdown will forever leave their mark on me. I know that for sure. Many of you may feel the same. I’m still finding my way back and can only ever hope to muster the kind of… Read more
Today was my 55th birthday. I hadn’t really been looking forward to it. After 108 days in lockdown I sort of imagined a birthday wouldn’t be worth celebrating. Not in the way I imagined anyway. As it happens, living alone in the lockdown for so long has taught me more than I bargained for and… Read more
