I started writing this journal in 2019, from a rented flat with north-facing windows and a kitchen two and a half metres wide. The plan was to document one year of doing less. Seven years later the flat is still rented, the kitchen has not grown, and the year has not ended.

The Short Version

Writer, photographer, very slow decorator

Two long-form stories a week, photographed on quiet mornings with the same old 35mm lens. Nothing here is sponsored, styled by anyone else, or finished in a weekend.

I am not interested in a home that looks finished. I am interested in one that looks like somebody lives here on purpose.

What you will find here

Four Corners of the Journal
  • Slow Living — mornings, rituals, and the unglamorous work of doing less.
  • Boho Home — collected rooms, thrifted anchors, and a great deal of patience.
  • Style Notes — linen, lambswool, and a wardrobe small enough to see all at once.
  • Seasonal Rituals — drying, folding, preserving, brewing.

A Few Questions

Do you take sponsored work?

Rarely, and never for something I would not have bought anyway. Anything paid is labelled at the top of the post, in the same size type as the rest.

What camera do you shoot with?

A well-loved mirrorless with a 35mm lens. Honestly, the window matters more than the gear.

Can I use your photographs?

For a personal moodboard, yes, with a link back. For anything commercial, please write first.
