The breezes taste
of apple peel.
The air is full
of smells to feel –
Ripe fruit, old footballs,
burning brush.
New books, erasers,
chalk and such
The bee, his hive,
well-honeyed hum,
and mother cuts Chrysanthemums.
Like plates washed clean
with suds, the days
are polishes with
a morning haze.
John Updike
How was your September?
For those of us whose children went back to school you might find these hacks useful:
Sadly our matriarch Queen Elizabeth II passed away last month. The nation came together in shared grief, a reminder the only constant is change.
It’s also my eldest son’s final year in primary school, we visited local secondary school options and submitted our choices. Fingers crossed he gets the place he wants. He made us proud as punch by not only making it on the school football team but he was also made captain.
Harvey is just enjoying being back with his friends and adsorbing the world around him.
Quieting the Noise
The end of summer and back to the balancing act.
Enchanted Living
Enchanted Living is the inspiration behind my Photography, art and creativity.
I am standing amid an aliveness, and that aliveness deserves my attention, my respect, my care …
The insects and birds and animals are singing themselves into being; this autumn land is dreaming and I am part of that dreaming.

Why is Photography Important?
I’ve read that children feel safe, welcome, seen and loved if there are images of themselves in the family home. I love this idea and think this is something every family needs to know.
You see stories, memories and keepsakes are important. Life is short. Our humanity is what makes us beautiful. The light will never look or be seen the same again and neither will we. We will never have this moment again.
So, let’s capture it!
