Just a few pictures of what I've been up to these long summer days.

Summer solstice, new moon, energy flow
Bringing myself home: New moon in Taurus
Taurus has me longing for a stable home. Perhaps I can manifest one under this new moon...
Photo diary: A spring break
I spent the past few weeks bunking off work in favour of cheap thrills and mini adventures.
This year, and the next
Further north
Photo diary: North, south, betwixt the two
It's easy, when you're alone with your own head a lot of the time, to forget what else is happening in your life. I flicked through my camera. Plenty, as it happens.
Ace of Swords, processing, perspective
An update. The calm after the storm, figuring out what's next. A card for truth, to point the way.
The signs were all there
In how, three days after I’ve left, I feel nothing for you but a sort of deep, hopeless sadness and a soreness I will soothe in the sea and with love and with time and with loving my life.
Strength and Death
‘Be your own heroine’: A full moon check-in
For the past week, I've held tonight's full moon as a goal, a turning point, a moment when.

Photo diary: Arriving (this home is a work in progress)
We've said goodbye our old life and finally arrived in Skye. I don't have the words to describe how this all feels yet... so here's a short photo-diary of our move.
What comes next
Change is afoot. My brain is tired, my body is stiff, my heart is happy and filled with anticipation.
Fairy Pools
I just had to share some photos of a walk I took today with Sandy and Alison, to the Fairy Pools near Glenbrittle, Skye. It was a magical place.
Skye Time
What Skye time is teaching me is to look and to listen. To let the land speak to me and to work alongside it. And that just as much is ‘crammed’ into an hour spent watching winter sunlight light change through birch trees as an hour spent ‘productively’.
One week on Skye
I’ve been living on the Isle of Skye for one week. I arrived under the invisible, grounding new moon in Capricorn, tired and happy to land after a nine hour drive through some of the UK’s most dramatic scenery – two cats, my shop and the rudiments of a comfortable life packed into a friend’s …
New year in an unfamiliar, indifferent place
Transformation + new moon in Sagittarius
