“Kids, I wish every mom and dad would make a speech to their teenagers and say, ‘Kids, be free, be whatever you are, do whatever you want to do, just as long as you don’t hurt anybody. And remember kids, I am your friend.'” — from the musical Hair. . . . #photography #life #youth #kids #be #sunset #parenthood #sky #clouds #skyline

😍🐌🍫🧶💕How is it that @elf_nook_cottage knows me so well??? This snail got to me at midnight last night, and what a lovely surprise! Thank you ever so much Trish, I absolutely love him 😍 I’m not the only one... I found Thom playing with it earlier on! He is absolutely gorgeous, thank you ever so much... a very timely message too... He reminds me that this week it’s time to get going, and start to take the small first steps towards a rather big project. Slowly but steadily, now I need to get on with it. Like a lot of 20 something, I used to be a hare rushing full speed through life and many projects at once, doing things at the very last minute. Snail reminds me that it’s perfectly ok to not be a hare and rush through life. Now I’m older and I know better : I have got to pace myself. Getting started is the worst, it feels very daunting as so much needs doing. Snail is with me now, to remind me : start now, slow and steady, getting a bit closer to the goal, one step at a time, while taking the time to breath and enjoy the scenery on the way :) thank you so much Trish for this timely, beautiful gift :) ... and yes there is also a raw chocolate bar and a stone to keep me energised on the way :) thanks! . . . #snail #snailsofinstagram #friendship #knittedanimals #knittedsnail #amigurumi #gift #animalspirit #animalguide #animalspiritguides #snaillove #animals #totemanimal #animalmessages #clairvoyance #clairsentience #clairaudience #listening #channeling

First #halloween . Our first #jackolantern - for both of us. I was born and grew up in France, where we didn’t use to even know what Halloween was... so it was a first for me too 🎃👻🙈 I know it’s not really the season but I found this photo while going through a lot of old photographs tonight... . . . #photography #childphotography #portraitphotography #firsttime #documentingreality #documenting #wekeepmoments #documentinglife #childhood

The fastest clipper of its time... the #cuttysark ... it’s a landmark of #greenwich which was my favourite place to visit back when we lived in #southeastlondon many moons ago. I had #postnataldepression after my son was born and spending time in Greenwich Park a few times a week was an important part of my survival... I was craving for open skylines, trees, green spaces, and being able to see the horizon :) I was also missing the ocean, so the Cutty Sark and the view on the docks made me feel like I was by the sea. I would sometimes close my eyes and hear the seagulls and it made me smile. Their calls comforted me. Going out for a walk in nature, even if all you have access to is a park is so helpful to get outside of one’s head, breathe and get some perspective :) . . . #depression #overcomingdepression #nature #healing #london #sailingaway #survival #urban #memories #memorylane #remembering #9yearschallenge

This is the place you end up When you lose the chase Where you're dragged against your will From a basement on the hill And all anybody knows is You're not like them And they kick you in the head And send you back to bed Isolation pulled you past a tunnel to a bright World where you can make a place to stay But everybody's scared of this place They're staying away Your little house on memory lane The mayor's name is fear His voice patrols the pier From a mountain of cliche That advances every day The doctor spoke a cloud He rained out loud You'll keep your doors and windows shut And swear you'll never show a soul again But isolation pushes you 'til every muscle aches Down the only road it ever takes But everybody's scared of this place They're staying away Your little house on memory lane If it's your decision To be open about yourself Be careful or else Be careful or else I'm comfortable apart It's all written on my chart That I take what's given me Most cooperatively I do what people say And lie in bed all day Absolutely horrified I hope you're satisfied Isolation pushes past self-hatred, guilt and shame To a place where suffering's just a game But everybody's scared of this place They're staying away Your little house on memory lane Your little house on memory lane...

A new blog post with photographs taken this afternoon, while the light kept changing. “the colours blend and roll as one... “ it’s also an humble tribute to the words of Richard Farina... link in profile :) . . . #photography #documentaryphotography #portraitphotography #poetry #tribute #richardfarina #blackandwhitephotography #wekeepmoments #familylife #outdoors #walking #haiku
