Furlough Erasures

In addition to the Walking My Own Furlough activities, I have had a daily project which I have been a bit hesitant about sharing. However, it has been a part of my routine and it now half fills a sketchbook. I sometimes receive proof or galley copies of books as part of my bookshop job.Continue reading “Furlough Erasures”

#WalkingMyOwnFurlough

I’ve begun to look at the tracks I’ve created using Viewranger.

#WalkingMyOwnFurlough

During my lockdown I’ve been trying to get out walking – I am very lucky to live in a rural village. Rather than just ploughing my own furrow, I’ve been Walking My Own Furlough. On some of these walks I take pictures (with my phone, as it’s less cumbersome and using a DSLR gets youContinue reading “#WalkingMyOwnFurlough”

Stone Peculiars Part 2

Following on from one holey stone, Minchinhampton Longstone, we move to a whole group of them. The Rollright Stones – technically in Oxfordshire but still the Cotswolds. This site comprises a stone circle, with standing stone and remains of a barrow standing slightly further off. The circle itself has been much ‘adjusted’ by well-meaning antiquariansContinue reading “Stone Peculiars Part 2”

Stone Peculiars Part 1

Corvid-19 postponed my talk at the museum, where I work one day a week. However, as small portions of it came from previous research I had done for various art projects and used my own photos, I thought I could share a couple of snippets. In the museum we tell you the story of prehistoryContinue reading “Stone Peculiars Part 1”

#Terminalia 23rd February

I was really interested when Kel Portman of Walking the Land posted that he wanted people to respond to the Roman day of Terminalia. Taking a walk along an invisible boundary. I had looked into Terminalia and its more recent version ‘beating the bounds’ but had never done anything with it. My excitement was swiftlyContinue reading “#Terminalia 23rd February”

Pinning & Fulling the Valley #GhostMills

August is proving a busy month – preparations for my contribution to Walking the Land‘s #GhostMills exhibition at SVA for the Wool & Water Festival I became interested in pin-making.
