searchingtoseeFlower Friday (sorry it’s late)
I know, I know it’s not Friday any more, and I’m sorry it’s two days late. Friday ended up being a whirl of busyness and Olympic frenzy, then our cable connection failed, and (after serious amounts of cursing from Alex) we eventually ended up watching the ceremony streaming through iplayer with the TV screen hooked up to the computer, which worked pretty well except…
Emotion
One of the most magical moments of the truck festival for me was hearing The Low Anthem perform. They are a low key, low-fi eccentric bunch who are obsessed with recycling instruments and appear to turn their hands to every instrument under the sun including trumpet, clarinet, dulcimer, the pump organ and even the saw. They recorded their latest album in an abandoned pasta…
Two’s company
This is the first post in a series on crowd images. Alex and I spent last weekend at the Truck festival near Steventon in Oxfordshire. It was a fantastic weekend; excellent music and a great atmosphere. There were many highlights, some of which I will post more about. One of the things I enjoyed was plucking out scenes of couples from the crowds (sometimes…
Things to do with your instagrams (part 2)
I posted here a while back about my enthusiasm for instagrams, and mobile phone photography in general. I decided to try out a few of the services I mentioned in that post, because I felt like I needed to do go some way towards creating something tangible out of all of those throwaway images I have amassed. Here is the first set of instagrams…
Flower Friday
Something a bit cheery for today I think. It’s been such a wet and miserable week (for a change). Off to a music festival this weekend with Alex. I have my wellies and waterproof at the ready (but I’m praying hard for sunshine), and my super-organised husband has laid out the camping equipment. Come Sunday I’m sure I’ll be exhausted and smelly, and thankful…

Spreading the love
A big THANK YOU to Jacque of thedreambeing for nominating me for the Liebster Award. She has a rather lovely blog, with some fabulous photography and inspiring art, so I’m very honoured to receive this award from her. Liebster comes from the German lieb, or love. It also means cute, lovely, sweet or kind and forms the stem of the vern lieben, to love….
Am Kohlwitzplatz
Sunday brunch at Kohlwitzplatz, Berlin There is no more perfect place to be on a prickly hot late Spring Sunday afternoon. The coffee is creamy and satisfying, the juice freshly pressed and tart. Agile sparrows nibble at stray crumbs. It’s so lazy here, so deliciously faul. You can feel it in the hot balmy air permeating your marrow and then sweating right out of…
