Our 16-year old staffy Molly passed away last month.
Staffy’s get a bad wrap but they are big hearted, energetic, sensitive, genuine souls who find the fun in everything.
I believe that pets (like partners & friends) find us.
RIP Molly 💔

My son studying the inner workings of a piano🎹
Been through a phase of feeling bound & frustrated by my skills. Heaven would be to play perfectly, with ease, no restrictions.
I realise this would be fun for a while but the hurdles are what make it so satisfying. Without them it’s just mechanics.

Studio desk becomes present wrapping station!
“Bow with confidence” the last note I wrote in my notebook at the end of the maiden voyage of my narrative gig Dark Nature
Back on stage after a hiatus felt great AND terrifying but the urge to perform far outweighed the fear of failure - so whatcha gonna do?
Current mantra? Patience & Gratitude 🙏🏻
