Even in black and white times it is hard to resist a splash of colour when you find one.
All in Home
Because That's What We Need To Do Right Now
And so we sit, a family, together in the same room.
Perhaps The World Has Lost Its Colour
We have been seeing things in black and white, lately, I have noticed
And In Our New Era Of Living More Respectfully
The language of her body told me everything I needed to know.
To Stay At Home Or To Go Out
We are said to be the most social of animals, yet we must now find a way to avoid being true to our nature.
The Secret Of Happiness And An Empty Park Bench
So right now I am grateful for early morning walks and unexpectedly beautiful sunrises, especially when the night has been long and sleepless.
Hanging On, Whilst Desperate To Let Go
Just a young girl, hanging on, whilst desperate to let go. Hanging on, in touching distance of traffic and people, rushing, rushing, always rushing. With busy lives, places to be, money to make and dinners to cook.
It's A Finite World, This Home Of Ours
We have such a beautiful home, this planet of ours, why can’t we share it and love our neighbours?

Beauty Is Forever And Not Just For Christmas
Stand next to something beautiful and close your eyes.
Petrichor
A shaft of light breaks through the canopy and shines like a spotlight on ground-cover plants that will soon be gone, their last hurrah before hibernations embrace.
Breakfast Can Wait
There is a bit of a chill in the evenings and disappointingly, the heating has already made a brief appearance in our house.
Tonight
There are times when you can feel the stress of everyday life just slipping away. Slowly, gradually, leaving your mind and body and allowing you to breathe again and relax.
