20th October 2013 – cyclamen
Bright pink flowers burst with life. Consummate showmen, they zing against the grey of the rain-soaked window. Tight buds wait in the wings beneath the dark green leaves, ready for their cue to enter.
17th October 2013 – red sky in the morning

A tiny black figure manoeuvres skilfully against the grey tide. As his kite turns, a flash of bright orange lights up against the pink, twilit sky.

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.
