Enjoying the scent of roses, sweetpeas, honeysuckle and eucalypt, and looking forward to the prospect of a cooler change.

A very hot day contemplating the way my birth narratives are unfolding.

Walking to the shop and pondering creative history walks after reading Nonstop Metropolis.

Feeling rested and centred and enjoying the day.

A very long nap has concertinaed the rest of my day.

Resting and allowing the events of the last couple of days to sink in.

Back home and completely knackered!

Things don’t always go according to plan.

Cauliflower cheese, preparing for the big event and relinquishing any other expectations.

Walking into town after a morning of gathering myself together, but still not ready for the journey north.
