…and breathe… Autumn is upon us with riotous colours and fabulously crunchy-mulchy smells, enjoyed as we went for a swim this morning close to our new mooring rather than enjoying that ‘extra hour in bed’ afforded by the clocks going back. Feeling rather blessed, tbh, in the way that this year has unfolded in the end. A huge thank you to everyone who has supported us and helped us as always

I always thought I’d have to travel to see the aurora borealis, but last night it came to visit me instead. It was visible to the naked eye, but these images are 3-second exposures. Feeling blessed

Wow! Just WOW! A huge thank you to all the staff, moorers, visitors, and friends new or old who made last week’s inaugural ‘Moor to Art’ such a wonderful event! A particularly special shout-out to Shiam () for organising and running the entire thing, and for making it all so magical. Brinklow truly is the ‘Marina of Dreams’
