We are not all alike and whilst we may not want to be the same as many of the people we meet, it is good to acknowledge and accept our differences.
All in Thoughts
The Importance Of People Showing Kindness And Inner Beauty
But right now, these are people showing their kindness and inner beauty and it feels important to me that I recognise them for what they are doing and share it here.
Winter Depression With Lethargy Overload
The starkness of winter. Tall, bare trees becoming one with their own dark shadows in the low afternoon sunshine.
Three Identical Strangers
For the second time in just over a month I am planning to write about a powerful, moving and heartbreaking documentary.
Modern And On Trend
It suddenly feels very modern and on trend to pass judgement and declare our moral outrage
Living My Best Life
And I've done a lot. Visited new countries and places closer to home. Challenged myself to take more photographs on a regular basis. And, perhaps scariest of all, I have tried to write and see if I could find a voice for myself.
Waiting For The Clock To Restart
The time between Christmas and the New Year. It's difficult to define. Frequently, it feels as if everything is on hold, almost in limbo, before we restart the clock again in January.
A Simple And Beautiful Christmas
The routines and traditions that so often remind us of our parents and our own childhood. A rare opportunity to remember a world that seems more innocent and so much kinder than how we live now.

Happiness....Or How To Bring Delight To A Persons Soul
It’s no bad thing to remember and understand that happiness is achievable and within our grasp, whatever the timing or circumstances.
A Smile Is Still A Smile
A smile is still a smile, no matter where you find it.
A Glimpse Of Green In A Blurred World Of Grey
Life is, I believe, mostly blurred and confusing.
Petrichor
A shaft of light breaks through the canopy and shines like a spotlight on ground-cover plants that will soon be gone, their last hurrah before hibernations embrace.
Moments of Beauty - Number One of an Occasional Series
We sat under the trees after hours on our feet, tired, thirsty and just a little irritable, as naïve tourists have a habit of being in warm countries.
I Could Bite Tracey Emin
Walk the streets more often. That would be my advice to anyone wanting to open their eyes and to see beneath the surface of their normal, everyday world.
Finding Excitement In The Unremarkable
We talk about composition and narrative. The use of subtleties and vagaries, encouraging depth and intrigue.
To Be Associated With Brighton
I was allocating people to locations as I travelled through life.
Faster Than I Want To Move
It feels like the others are just that little bit further ahead of me these days, or at least, that's how it seems when I decide to take notice.
Tonight
There are times when you can feel the stress of everyday life just slipping away. Slowly, gradually, leaving your mind and body and allowing you to breathe again and relax.
