My daughter went to a “proper” hairdressers today,a rare occasion,usually her friend’s mum cuts it. She was fascinated by the hairdresser chat going on in the salon. When we left she said “those hairdressers were really chatty with their patients”.Isn’t that the truth?! #HaidresserTherapy

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition, The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance Iconic imo

I do tend to favour the big white dog for photo opportunities, mostly because melancholia is very photogenic. The little brown dog mostly just looks like a toddlers scribble of a #dog. But when she was a puppy she was most divine…

It took a long time to convince my son at the age of 4 that a swan was indeed a bird. He laughed me out of the park. He doesn’t have a good track record actually…didn’t believe in piranhas, thought a Phoenix was real…and last yr let it slip he thought several, v specifically, meant seven. He’s 17!

They’re old enough to go out on their own now #swans #exeter

Early stroll. The sky has a flannel over its face. A blackbird’s alarm call rattles the morning. That upside down yogurt pot looks like an alien spacecraft. A bloke and I exchange raised thumbs. I blow my nose like the foghorn of a ship passing Girvan.
