Keeping the Faith
From busy to quiet in the blink of an eye, planes carried the men of the house to far away destinations yesterday.
Familiar Love
Our son is home from university during his Easter vacation, and the house is full once again these days.
A Walk Upon the Beach
We went walking on the beach this afternoon at the close of a getaway snatched from the jaws of everyday time.
A Piece of Stillness
I sit beside the hound as our week of quiet draws to its conclusion.
Silent Wonder
Sitting in silent communion with the spirits of the Tazza Fountain in Hyde Park’s Italian Gardens I feel the magic of this particular spot once again.
Resonances
The past few weeks have been marked by resonances. Voices from poetry, history or theatre have figured so strongly that they are escaping from my mind, ready to leap onto the written page.
Life’s Waves
There have been days of overwhelming business of late, infused with that peculiarly American insatiability. It climbs right up inside your soul and grabs you by the throat, seemingly intent on stealing your last breath too.
Choices
The hound and I have been out and about this week. Temperatures soared once more. At times the light had a flat brightness that could cut glass.
Water's Ways
I found myself this afternoon. Amidst the aisles of one of Americana’s chief meccas with my husband and daughter I was busy alongside everyone else’s business.
Of Cupid, Murder and Mayhem
We’re up and about early this morning here; basking in the glorious Southern Californian sunshine. Summer decided to pay February a visit last week and the temperatures soared into the eighties.
Child In Danger
It’s still unseasonably warm and sunny here, even for Southern California. If it wasn’t for our imminent departure for London and colder climes I think we might fly off the edge of the world altogether.
