My blog is a place for process, reflection, and musings.
I share my creative practice and works in progress, alongside photography, the natural world, places I explore, and the things I keep coming back to - craft, history, books, and the small details I notice along the way. You’ll also find the occasional essay, book review, and collections of inspiration and mood boards.
Mabon - Autumn Equinox
Summer isn't quite gone, but autumn has arrived - knocking quietly at the door. The Autumn Equinox marks the moment when day and night are almost equal in length, before the balance tips and darkness begins to take up more of the year. It is a time of harvest, gratitude and balance - but also of letting go.
A belated July Newsletter
I thought I had scheduled this to publish 6 weeks ago - apprarently not! Regardless I wanted to share. July seems so long ago as I update this. I’m glad I wrote this all down at the time! July was a month of collecting things. Not necessarily things in the traditional sense, but little bits and pieces that caught my attention: a sentence from a book, a strange symbol carved into an old building, a new idea I couldn’t stop thinking about, a film, a place, a record.
Lammas - The First Harvest
A little later than usual, I’m arriving at Lammas – the first harvest. Traditionally celebrated around the 1st August, Lammas marks the beginning of the grain harvest and the point where summer begins its slow turn towards autumn.
Litha - Summer Solstice
The wheel turns once more and we arrive at Litha – the Summer Solstice. Falling around the 20th or 21st of June in the Northern Hemisphere, Litha marks the longest day and shortest night of the year.
May Newsletter
May was a month of nature, creativity, and new possibilities. In this month's roundup, I'm sharing wildlife encounters, works in progress, inspiring reads, and a few small delights from everyday life.
Bempton Cliffs
I first became aware of Bempton Cliffs a few years ago. I’d heard stories about this magnificent place of towering limestone cliffs, stunning natural beauty, and at certain points of the year - England’s largest seabird colony.
