Balance… + tea + muffins
I am here. We are here. Balance and grounding… Many of us have recently been forced to re-evaluate things. The pandemic has forced many to stop, pause, quarantine… find our home. Recently my wife, kids and I were forced to literally ‘go home’ – after one day on the other side of the country on […]

Perhaps it’s about feeling?

While visiting the resting place (and hence archived memories) of my maternal grandparents, we discovered the gardens of Tremenheere a stone’s throw away. After a few hours exploring Tremenheere; combined with a day in a sunlit St Ives […]

Little things
It’s been a while, time flies when you’re having fun.  Much water’s flowing under the bridge, around the stones, over the shingle… Over time, many things morph to polish off our sharp edges and sharpen our perceptions. While watching ‘Genius’ recently we’re reminded that “Human perception is frightfully narrow…”. Simon Parke’s ‘Abbot Peter’ reminds us […]
