Following

Do you begin and end your day with the world framed by a window or windscreen? Maybe it’s your own or perhaps it is the fingerprint smeared one of the bus or train. Do you run? Or cycle? Do you stare ahead, focussed on the point of horizon, enjoying the sensation of the landmarks flying past you? Or do you walk? Head dead ahead. Music sounding. Telephone chattering. Daydreaming.

Have you walked or driven the same route for as long as you can remember? Have you one day, for whatever reason, looked up and seen something that surprised you? A building above a shop perhaps? A blue plaque? A piece of graffiti impossibly high up? A flag. This blog is about what you can see when you tilt your chin and see a different view of your everyday world.

Look up.

You might enjoy it.

You might see something good.

Cheeky


My stepdad is an artist, although he doesn't like to call himself that as it seems a bit of a wishy washy thing to say. However, because of this, my parents home is filled with things that he has carved, printed or drawn. I noticed this charcoal bum sitting above the stairs the last time I was home. I love its black and white almost silhouette feeling and its touch of cheekiness- if you pardon the pun.
