Summers end, new school year, pencils in a row. Children reinvent themselves, some refuse to go. Autumn hides the cobwebs just as spring brushes them clean; Subscription to the promise of a new you yet unseen. Starting fresh sounds simple, leave the ghosts behind. Clear the debts from credit cards, from lovers, heart and mind.Continue reading “It’s not easy being green”

Darting about
Since I can remember I have had a feeling that the universe can contract and expand on the turn of a card, a moment’s fortune, a wind change. There are times where everything and anything is possible: the whole whole world is at your fingertips. You can do and be anything . Not simply inContinue reading “Darting about”

Moving on
We celebrated five years in Skye Blue house recently. Five years in St Abbs. Five years of watching my daughter turn from a child into a beautiful young woman.

Roast Turkey
Travelling anywhere now feels like such a blessing. Grateful for every new avenue that opened up, we all yearned for so long to be, not only; anywhere-but-the-village; but anywhere-but-the-sofa. The world had closed it’s pathways, as we peered through windows, marooned, masked and frightened, shrouded in uncertainty as to how we might ever explore distantContinue reading “Roast Turkey”

Lover
When we are young we yearn for something dangerous, alone. Miles from all the sanctions, structures, household rules of home. Tempting shiny worlds appear, round corners to explore. Day by day we inch our way, bags packed at waiting door. Not knowing is intoxicating, Sleeping when you can. Eating when you’re hungry, only, Fleshing outContinue reading “Lover”
