#ChristmasSpecial Like so many others in the UK and around the world I wonāt get to see family this Christmas. My mum sent me a message saying, āI wish I could take an eraser and rub out the miles between usā. I wish she could too – but it is what it is. My way⦠Read more

Washing Line Love
Iām one of those people who needs to find ways to say goodbye when I lose someone. To somehow give pain wings so the grief might gently fly where it needs to. Fly like the little birds who for the past 50 years have visited this back garden in Glasgow to eat the treats my⦠Read more
Weirdly Wonderful Little Window
I think I will always remember this weird little unexpected window on the wall. The one my mind wandered through as I lay on my side on a bed in a cardiac unit here in Plymouth. This window view where I imagined myself swimming underwater with a friendly dolphin as someone busily checked my heart⦠Read more
The Big Light
Itās 4am in Cornwall. The brightness and pull of the full moon has me wide awake. Itās like someone has left āthe big lightā on, as we say in my native Scotland. In fact, thereās so much light I just took this photo while stood outside in my pyjamas. So much light I was even⦠Read more

Lockdown is in full swing in England but thankfully nothing holds down nature. Just looked out my window in Cornwall and caught a giant colourful eye looking right back at me. Like a rainbow checking itself out in the mirror š

Oh my. The beckon of the misty mouthed nature of the stillness of a Cornish morn⦠š
Sundog Surprise
When it comes to nature, I love its surprises. Just as someone might send 12 red roses or a gift out of the blue, so too does the sky cheekily conjure up its own way to melt me. This āsun dog rainbowā back on a sultry summer evening in Cornwall did just that. A wispy⦠Read more
Scarecrow Kindness
Itās probably fair to say that Englandās second lockdown is missing the same national community spirit as the first one… but Iāve personally been totally bowled over by the kindness Iāve experienced in my own local village here in Cornwall. And Iām sure many of you have too. As a recent newcomer to the area⦠Read more
