Defining your Signature Style: a few photos

January 8, 2015January 4, 2015 ~ Wolves in London ~ 4 Comments

When I first moved from print to online journalism about, oooh, 15 years ago now, everyone was abuzz with the “immediacy of the web.” Print is dead, they raved. (Okay, I might have raved a little bit as well…) Gone are the days of waiting to hear the news the day after it happens in … Continue reading Defining your Signature Style: a few photos

August break 2014: the last week

September 1, 2014September 1, 2014 ~ Wolves in London ~ 1 Comment

So, a whole month has passed, just like that. *Clicks fingers* Much as I love participating in projects like the August break, or my monthly garden moodboards, I am often put off by the side effect of an increasing awareness of time passing. You start out thinking, oh yes, a photo a day for August, … Continue reading August break 2014: the last week

August break 2014: week two

August 16, 2014 ~ Wolves in London ~ 5 Comments

The photos continue... Phew, this has been a tough week. The hubby was back at work on Monday after a five week hol between jobs. Of course, in that time, the sprog and the babe had become completely used to having him around all the time (as, for that matter, had I) so it's been … Continue reading August break 2014: week two

August Break 2014: lots of photos

August 9, 2014August 8, 2014 ~ Wolves in London ~ 1 Comment

Well, 31 photos to be precise. These are the first nine... Last year, I took part in Susannah Conway’s August Break for the first time. It’s a brilliant (and brilliantly simple) idea. For the month of August, you take a photo every day and publish it on your blog or share on Instagram (or Facebook … Continue reading August Break 2014: lots of photos

A photo a day: August 31st

August 31, 2013 ~ Wolves in London ~ 13 Comments

AKA the last day! So this is it, people, my very last photo of the day. My last contribution to the August break. This is me. Collapsed in bed, my hand resting on my weary brow. A subtle photographic representation of how absolutely bloody exhausted I am from posting a photo (or sometimes more than … Continue reading A photo a day: August 31st

Things I’ve learnt: photography

December 3, 2012December 4, 2012 ~ Wolves in London ~ Leave a comment

The short version of this post would be: not enough. If you've seen any of my other blog posts (if not, why not? Go and take a look now...) you'll have seen I am far from the most proficient photographer. I was asking my other half what he thought of my blog photos just last … Continue reading Things I’ve learnt: photography

Grief is a complicated thing. It is 15 years today since my first son died — ten months old, asleep in his cot at home when I was out at work. Everything has changed in the years since and in some ways I can hardly imagine how that other life of mine would have played out if he hadn’t died. At other times, I remember the phone call I got from the Homerton as I left work on that day, and the pain is just as deep as it was in the moment. It’s been written many times, I know, but grief doesn’t ever really lessen, you just learn to grow around it, to grow alongside it. You learn to adapt as the rest of the world continues on and people forget, and you become one of the only memory keepers. Which itself is another complicated thing.
So grateful for friends who leave flowers on your doorstep because they know you are feeling sad.
Love this idea from @nurturingfolk — 60 pictures from 2022, set to 1 second each and don’t overthink it or stress!
We had a gorgeous Christmas at my sister’s in Gloucestershire, where the houses are beautiful especially when the sun sets across the valley and bathes everything in a golden glow.
