Past when we counted the weeks in lockdown…

We’re running low on a lot of things now; Patience, headspace, jobs we’ve been meaning to do and the feel good factor of finally getting it done. Lots of novelties eroded too. The novelty of walking, online workouts, Joe Wicks, writing on a blackboard, all the online educational “games”, FaceTime, Zoom, House Party, quiet roads, […]

Week 4 Lockdown…

Week: 4 Offspring I started the week off with: 3 Offspring I finish the week off with: 3 and you can’t prove otherwise Offspring conflicts refereed: Millions. I don’t even care who’s fault anything is anymore, they all behave like drunken cage fighters Alcohol units consumed: I don’t want to talk about it, I will […]

Week 3 Lockdown…

A third week in lockdown. I’m not sure it’s the new normal yet but we’re certainly settling in. Emotions are running a little less high all around. Orlee’s finally stopped asking “where are we going today?” every morning. I’m getting in to the groove of my new role as homeschool teacher and this much more […]

Week 2 Lockdown…

Week 2. Rumours on the social-media-sphere were that this would be a tough one. They were right. The novelty of week 1 was gone. Whatever jittery fear-based adrenaline that was powering me through week 1 has ebbed. The children miss their friends and are much less tolerant of each other. Basically everything is a bit […]

Week 1 Lockdown…

This is the week I spent in two states of being. Sobbing, with no hope of zooming in on any clear specific reason why. Just wave after wave of the enormity and entirety of it. Or in a bizarre state of surrealness experiencing it, repeating over and over to people I saw on the school run, on […]

Last Day of School…

I cried so hard this day. All day. I am still struggling to process and articulate what exactly was hurting my heart so badly. But this day hurt so brutally. A train ran over my life this day and a thousand and one complacencies and blessings were realised. My children were denied their education and […]

Orlee Bea. Lazy school holiday days.
On the swimming lesson run. Worst times to stop. Getting used to having the camera on the car seat next to me. I think pausing in the chaos is the hardest part and the most valuable lesson to learn in all this. Funny how the least necessary of things don’t feel worth doing and vice versa.
Restarting the 365 for April 1st. Because personal projects have just one rule that’s they’re yours and you’re the boss. Starting softly with a couple of very quick selfies to test out a new wide angle. Ready to get creative.
Sheep fields and pylons and something that’s starting to look like light I want to photograph. Jesus this grey dull winter has killed off my personal shooting. 🙄 British weather you’d better have something decent up your sleeve for this summer because WE ARE ALL FED UP OF THIS SHIT! 😝
The kids and their badges. ❄️🏅
Ski breaks. ❄️☕️🍷
