I’m still writing up my weekend away with The Silent Eye, but thought I’d take a quick foray into this week’s #writephoto challenge, courtesy of Sue Vincent. ‘Is it a bit much?’ ‘We-ell–‘ ‘I mean, it’s nice and bright, isn’t it?

So, I’m combining the two and taking a wander to Easter Aquhorthies Stone Circle, near Inverurie, Scotland, for the second part of my experience.‘I must be insane,’ I thought to myself. I was standingContinue reading “Maiden, Mother, Crone – Part 2 – Easter Aquhorthies”
Maiden, Mother, Crone – The Silent Eye Weekend Part 1
When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.’ I should have expected it, really. It was, after all, a Silent Eye weekend, and I knew from the previous one I’d attended that the themes and ideas would reveal themselves gradually, and in different ways.

A Small Update
Life has been extremely busy of late.

A Wednesday Wander for Roald Dahl Day
Today is Roald Dahl day, a celebration to mark what would have been the 101st birthday of the author, so I decided to do a Wednesday Wander with a Roald Dahl connection. I’ve visited Dahl’s grave, seen the footsteps of the BFG leading to it, and spent time in the excellent museum nearby (though tookContinue reading “A Wednesday Wander for Roald Dahl Day”

Wednesday Wander – Dragonstone, Part 1
I’ve recently been away, doing a spot of wandering in Basque country. I am a big Game of Thrones fan and so, when I found out that two of the locations used for the show were not too far from where I was staying, I decided to take a look (and dragged the family alongContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Dragonstone, Part 1”
