We all need to feel grounded. Walls and hedges, floors and edges, markers to our world’s defining spaces. Blanket stitching a creative space for everything to come, and everything to reflect upon; a place to heal within, to plan from.. A place to rest and go from next. A place to call home. A hubContinue reading “Paper Cut”

Her
A post for a few who need it. Her There was a girl who looked like me She followed me close by. If someone hurt or saddened us She hid away to cry. She weighed as heavy as a rock But couldn’t quite be seen, She sometimes almost went away But re-appeared in dreams. SheContinue reading “Her”
And Breathe
I have spent quite a lot of time looking at clouds recently. Either through a doorway at dawn or at dusk when the spectacular paint box of colours and shapes sploshes across our patch of sky. Or sometimes from the inside of a wheelchair as I get trundled on a too- far- to-walk-path or asContinue reading “And Breathe”

Clear the debts from credit cards, from lovers, heart and mind.Continue reading “It’s not easy being green”

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”
Skye Blue House
This little house will be loved by someone new soon. Skye blue House or whatever it becomes will soon belong to a new family who will print their chapters into its story. This house has served us well, a solid and warm place to be and feel, creative, a home by the sea with lotsContinue reading “Skye Blue House”
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. Five years of furry feet, blue paint, furry feet in blue paint, and repainting blue paint before furry feet go back outside and make blue pawContinue reading “Moving on”
