The Company of Wolves

Red and The Wolf are all that remains of a #glass foray into folk tales a LONG time ago, currently having a polish and being packaged up before handover. Perhaps it’s time to go back into the woods.

Winter Open Studio
Winter Open Studio, heading out shortly for Day #2. Thanks to everyone who found me yesterday, do take a look at the site map (swipe) and the directions on my contact page before embarking.

Autumn
Exploring autumn, Mary Oliver ‘In Blackwater Woods’, ‘… you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.‘

Day Off
Hoping everyone got a window of medicinal sunshine over the last day or two. Aldeburgh beachcoming, a dice on the sea wall - lucky side up, and a line of birds (cormorants?) flying low over the sea.
