When Exmoor brings all its colours
It is a place of wonderment
The clouds, the grasses, tiered blues
There is no place I’d rather be ❤️

Sometimes I am the tree
Stoic and moody in the clouds
Sometimes I am clinging on in the wind
The grass growing on a wall

Must do better - 1979-81
What was ‘Int Studies’ anyway?
Much love to Aubrey Hodes,a brilliant human - although I did none of the things he thought I might.
Holloway School was a mad melting pot of 1200 boys, as diverse and integrated as it comes. The NF were chased away from the school gates 👊

In a short series this week, I might share some pics from previous decades of my life.
A birthday ending in an ‘Oh!’ awaits 😱
My first pair of football boots - from when I was about 6 years old ❤️ I remember running towards a hospital in Norfolk after a patient had nicked them 😂

I am broken, muddy, brown
Is that sunlight in the distance?
May it shine on us again ❤️
