First sunny day in quite a while when I can just about stand being outside for any length of time. The boxes – all 102 of them (I’ve reduced them down by one already!) are out of the shed for […]
Funky picture frames
Petalled swathes flutter in the breeze, like masses of butterflies on a secret quest that only their wings provide cover for. When they all take flight at once, everything but their colour is masked. Who knows what truly lies beneath? […]
