Sackcloth and Ashes
Last week I got a new teeshirt and I absolutely love it. I’m never going to wear it. I saw it on a YouTuber and I loved it so much I paused their video and ferreted through their merch store to buy it. That’s something I’ve never done before. It’s bright banana yellow with the words ‘Creatively Juicy’ splurged across the chest in vivid primary colours.

Capturing Innocence
I took this photo when I was ten, next to the pond in the back garden. There’s really not much of a story to it, at least not that I can remember. It’s been a while since I was ten. My family had just moved to a new home in the countryside of the Ards peninsula, Northern Ireland. It was a new build, so the house and garden were still barren, but the wild surrounding us was as rich as it had been for millennia. And that suited me. Minibeests twitched and twisted in the undergrowth, hares gambolled in the fields, songbirds chirped in the trees and the occasional heron flapped overhead. And at night, we saw bats and badgers. There’s no feeling like glimpsing a badger trundling through your neighbourhood.
