Views my own. Love being able to feel a part of the natural world. Dabble in art & poetry. Called to the sea.

Few pics from the last day of my exhibition at The Sportsman.
Thank you to everyone who supported it, came and had a look, and perhaps you were lucky enough to have a bite to eat too
Raised £138 for Kent Wildlife Trust which is amazing and means a lot to me.
Thank you!

How time passes...
poem
hold me here
touching space
in light rays
of soft
plummeting fires
aside the
broken nights
of missed
meteor displays
hold these hours
in a hug
a hoop
a ring
surrendering
your dreams
until morning
hold me here
touching space
in light rays
of soft
plummeting fires
aside the
broken nights
of missed
meteor displays
hold these hours
in a hug
a hoop
a ring
surrendering
your dreams
until morning

Gonna give this Raymond Blanc recipe a go. My first try at growing marmande tomatoes. Reused bags and filled them with peat-free compost rather than straight into the ground. Hoping the august sun will turn them a bit more red. www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes...

the softest hills
of your safely
healing bicep
in a breathlessness
rests a touch
like the smooth
swaying grasses
