Keeping this blog is enjoyable. Scrolling posts akin to retracing steps along a bread crumb trail in the woods... (if the bread crumbs could remain uneaten and preserved somehow).
Here is a pause though. Months without posts, the first time this has happened since I began three-miles-an-hour in 2010.
The last four years have seen me move 6 times, from a rented flat, a room in my siblings house to rooms in friends houses. When I relocated to Derbyshire in 2018 it was with no work and few connections, it takes time to land in a community and for contacts and opportunities to emerge and then - PANDEMIC. Lockdown. Everything I'd begun to build in terms of art and freelance work canceled.
The stress of this has caught up with me and I'm in low battery mode while working on securing paid work and stable housing. Little did I know when packing up my Leytonstone flat in August 2018 that the boxes would remain stacked up and waiting in the dark for four years.
So I've slipped with three-miles-per-hour but will pick up the thread somewhere down the line.
Had a brilliant holiday in Scotland this May. Here are The Kelpies - the largest equine sculptures in the world. Awe inspiring and worth a visit - a happy memory from 2022!
