28th April 2013 – kitten
She shoots out of a hedge and lands at my feet with a squeak. She demands to be picked up and settles onto my shoulder, purring. Her grey back and white tummy are as smooth as silk, her eyes narrowing … Continue reading

27th April 2013 – worms
Without worms, no soil. Without soil, no plants. Without plants, no food. Slimy, small, seemingly insignificant; I watch them munching and burrowing, as I learn their true worth.

25th April 2013 – friend
She stretches out her hand and places it gently on my arm. A gesture of comfort that’s worth a thousand words. She keeps it there for a few minutes as we talk, reassuring me that I am not alone.

24th April 2013 – hospital
In the entrance sits a woman in a wheelchair. She looks thin and grey, holding a small cup of water in her hand. Our eyes meet and we smile. A moment of human contact, comforting for us both, I hope.

23rd April 2013 – St George’s Day

22nd April 2013 – swifts

21st April 2013 – Bodmin pony
He stands majestically amongst the trees. His mane and tail blow in the wind, but he faces it stoically. His brown and white striped head turns towards me and his long-eyelashed eyes regard me.

20th April 2013 – old man
He stands at an old concrete bus stop. Straight and tall, he is clad in a sensible plant-green waxed jacket. He stares as we drive past, his long off-white beard hanging in a neat triangle down to his navel.
