    26 January, 2025

    Quite the morning. We had a pre-storm Éowyn dip in the rough sea. One person lost a hat, which I managed to catch in the water. Another lost a shoe but luckily found it. Good fun.

  • Drizzle run

    Drizzle run

    15 October, 2024

    Morning run. After 14 months my knees are good enough to do a slow 5k and I’m loving it. So good to be back out there watching the dawn light fade to the beauty of British grey drizzle on an autumnal morning. There’s no bad weather. Everything is interesting to a curious photographer with ADHD.

    Black and white. A blurry photo showing the lights and river navigation light silhouetted against the container ship docks.

    Delighted to see this singular cloud floating above the Liverpool skyline after my run. First 5km in 14 months too. Felt great. No issues getting back into running.
