Yesterday, I went to hear artist Sarah Jones talk about her stick work, before she led an Imbolc ceremony to celebrate the start of Spring. We ate sun cakes and drank fresh apple juice, whilst silently considering what we don’t need anymore in our lives and what we will choose to cherish 🌞

I had a lovely time at Book Club last night, when we discussed all the books we got for Christmas and have read already, or are on our ‘to read’ pile. Reading is an escape from the state of the world as it is.

Today's Words of Wisdom from Alastair Humphreys - "The Norwegians have a phrase that encapsulates the difficulty of starting a journey. Those masters of tough expeditions have put a name to the struggle of setting out from your warm, comfortable, familiar house into the cold, frightening outdoors.."

I’m part of an art project called Artlandish, which is about to open in Hereford, UK. We’ll be creating a series of exhibitions that change each week in an empty shop. This is Chris Plant’s projection based work, up in the space for our first event.

Today, I’ve done another circus drawing and also some writing, for the first time in many weeks. The drawing is of me on a beautiful horse called Porto, performing at Circus Roncalli in Germany. The writing is about the time I fell off a trapeze and broke both of my wrists. Horses are safer imo

Solidarity to everyone feeling overwhelmed by the Gisèle news today, especially those who couldn’t talk about their own experiences, those who didn’t have “evidence”, those who weren’t believed. Your experience is real, it is valid, it is not your fault.
