Lord Nelson's commemorative erection prodding the dusk (thought I'd chop it down a bit) & the classic face of The National Gallery. Gonna look at the Tudors @nationalportraitgallery, a favourite pastime when I lived in this glorious city #thenationalportraitgallery #tudorportrait #trafalgasquare #justbecause #maybeitsbecauseimalondoner #londonjolly

The most beautifully fragrant @treadwellsbooks, willing a book to jump out at me, but not today, though loads of interesting stuff... Left with a tiny jar of dried mugwort - which I've been reading about recently #treadwellsbookshop #storestreet #london #mugwort

London! A rare selfie in the scarf I knitted as a child & gave to my dad - the inspiration for my 'Close Knit: a body of work' project. This part of London is personal, near where my parents married & I was born - I'm sure there will be a commemorative monument here one day 😁 #london #eustonroad #scarf #pastinthepresent #parents

My space is in the process of alteration so reorganisation required... Made a start on that today, though was listening to Harry Leslie Smith on SoundCloud and had to keep stopping to listen, such a compelling speaker. I'm humbled that I can be an artist, an option not open to my parents, their parents & grandparents... I benefited from a free education, the NHS & JSA when needed... It continues to be f**king hard but I can raise my head above survival & listening to Harry makes me consider this - with my full belly & warm bed... What he describes is sobering. #harrylesliesmith #labour #poverty #nhs #safe #fed #artist #artistsstudios #haarlemartspace #wirksworth #derbyshire

Considering what to show @haarlemartspace Winter Exhibition... Thinking about what's calling me, what my focus could be in 2020... The exhibition will be a great stopping point & a time to see others work, be inspired & spot connections/overlaps/common ground #haarlemartspace #haarlemartspacewinterexhibition #studioshow #groupshow #winterexhibition #winter #exhibition #artists #wirksworth #derbyshire #publicview

Just come out for a stick forage... Found these huge beauties, am planning on making another two 'thread sticks', so will dry these out & see if they could work. On the way here I stood on a hill above Matlock for my two minutes silence... remembering my dad who fought in WWII & what a haunted man he was, it's amazing he survived. The Last Post sounded from the monument overlooking Matlock as I stood there & now past & present overlap as I look at these beautiful autumn leaves with a sad heart #worldwar #ww2 #ww1 #lastpost #remembrancesunday #peace #thinklovenothate #dad #father #daughter #ptsd #matlock #derbyshire #autumn #fallingleaves

Just got my tea 'on the house' @pret St Pancras after asking the server how he was & noticing he was a little tired... Kindness has its rewards 😀 ☕ I've heard that staff have discretion but not experienced it before. I was a rather jolly traveler after that #kindness #tea #pret #stpancrasstation #freetea
