  • ‘...these dark days of autumn rain are beautiful as days can be;’ -Robert Frost (from My November Guest). #mistyfoggymilkymoody
  • #AD | Some days are extraordinary. 💛 I’ve been working with @taylors, @creatingforgood and @womenforwomenuk for over a year now, and they always find unexpected ways to inspire me. I spent today practicing human storytelling with visits to the studios of three talented and creative women. Karen of @pompomfactory makes these incredible paper flowers, Giulietta of @crownworkspottery creates magic with mud, fire and water, and Katharina of @katharinaeisenkoeck frees the beauty of stone, showcasing it in her eye-catching designs. You’ll find images from their studios and more snippets of the day on my stories. #CFGextraordinaryjourney
  • For me, fog is the spirit of this season. It blankets the landscape here throughout the autumn and winter months. Fog makes the familiar unfamiliar, muting sounds and softening colours. Nothing makes me feel more alive than a morning walk through the fog, hair curling in the damp air, eyes adjusting to the gloom. I long for foggy mornings, like a child longs for Christmas. When I open my curtains to the sight of foggy rooftops, I wonder- did I dream the fog into existence? #whpseasonal
  • ‘The house was very quiet, and the fog—we are in November now—pressed against the windows like an excluded ghost.’ - E.M. Forster (from Howards End)
  • ’She believed she could, so she did.’ 🍃 It’s been such a joy, teaching the first week of my Little Stories of My Life E-course. I feel a thrill every time I receive a message from a student to say that they’ve enjoyed a particular lesson, or that I’ve taught them a new skill, or that the content has inspired them to think in a different way. Writing an E-course has been something that I’ve wanted to do for a long time- it’s taken a lot of work, and a leap of faith, but I believed I could, so I did, and I’m delighted with the results. If there’s something you believe you can do... I believe that you can do it. 💪🏻💫 #WHPscale
  • ‘Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away; Lengthen night and shorten day; Every leaf speaks bliss to me Fluttering from the autumn tree.’ -Emily Bronte 🍂📖
  • ‘And all the lives we ever lived and all the lives to be are full of trees and changing leaves.’- Virginia Woolf, (from To the Lighthouse) 🍃🍂
  • ‘I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow; but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.’ - Agatha Christie 🖋🔍 Yesterday, we explored Agatha Christie’s holiday home, Greenway. It’s the most magical of houses, nestled in sloping woodland, overlooking the sparkling Dart Estuary. ✨(Can you spot the statue playing #WHPdressup ?)
