'That Sound Game' or 'RISK Game of Thrones' 2025 Versions? We have played these A LOT!

Who reads the rules?
Who twists the rules?
Who breaks the rules?
Who makes new rules?

Why have fkn rules anyway, Hamnet?

Birthday candles today
For Jill, Jules and Jo.
Small rituals repeated
Create a new pattern.
Chart a shared course
Over choppy waters.
When all that is certain is change
Navigating new narratives.
Sailing for unseen shores
What unites us is love.

Quite a lot of interesting things in the Fairbridge Festival Art Shed over the last 30 years. Including this and other Banners. We always make sure they are properly stored [after the devastating loss of everything from the original sea container to a leak and MOULD.]

"If I lift you and you lift me, then together we shall rise..." - an old Quaker saying.

I spotted this beautiful flower on a tough old cactus! The desert is fertile...

Another Festival Favourite. Not so much with parents, but kiddos and teens love the mess.

Kingsley Fairbridge - founder of Fairbridge Farm School in Pinjarra Western Australia. An on site museum illuminates controversy.
I am fascinated by how experiences early in life and migration have shaped the multicultural and connected World we live in.

Opening Night of the British Film Festival here in Perth. The Choral is an achingly beautiful yet warmly witty film that reminds us how much we need art, poetry, music + each other.
I am nostalgic for Jubilee Church Hall in Marple Bridge and our village plays + concerts!
