A Washing Line in a Window

A tiny washing line pegged across an old Norwich window, found back in October and saved for a Friday the 13th that is also World Kindness Day.

The Month That Smudges the Edges

I’ve decided November is my favourite month, and I’m making my case with a foggy view, a lopsided pine and a pocketful of conkers.

Two Red Poppies and a Quiet Minute

A quiet post for a quiet day, with two stubborn red poppies, two minutes of silence, and a bit of thinking about Dad.

Look Down

I stopped to photograph something odd on a fence, and it turned out the better find was waiting at my feet.

The Unexpected Highlight of My Year

We were away for a night, wandering around Chichester, exploring Emsworth and staying at The Ropemaker, and Fragile came along for the ride. And
