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.

Raise a fist


I caught sight of this huge sign as I crossed the Thames on the way to Waterloo station. There was a couple of teenagers zooming about on skateboards below it accompanied by one wielding a very smart looking camera. I think that it was quite fitting that below this huge statement a bunch of kids were having a laugh and trying to create something artistic at the same time. That, in my eyes, is the way of winning such a battle. People are increasingly complaining that modern life is hollow and unfulfilling but it doesn't have to be that way. Less focus on money and more on enjoyment and simple creativity does wonders for the soul. Sound like such an old hippie don't I?!
