beautiful but brief


Not so long ago I took the train to Edinburgh for a few days. My name had been put forward to invite as an alumni to attend the Inches Carr Awards dinner ceremony held at Edinburgh College of Art. The invitation came at a time when I was feeling disconnected from both other creative people and my own creativity, so it seems like the right thing coming at the right time. It was lovely to be back in a place that feels like home, where the streets hold stories, where every turn brings back a different memory. And it was equally lovely to be back among fellow makers, designers and artists, having the feeling of fitting in and somehow feeling like I belong.


The next two days were ever so special; seeing Jenny, being at her side, doing lots of lovely things and doing nothing in particular together again.

Back in North Yorkshire I was more motivated for going out doing, looking and drawing.
