there's a tiny table i have come to love

it may not be stable, still, sound enough

·

to hold my scribbles, my pensées

my drivel, my fortes {i hope}.

·

it is always on the move, always on the go.

it is the train table, so now you know.

of course you know of the royle family, who doesn't? if you haven't seen them on the telly, they might just live down the street, no? the makers of the royles have now come up with THE CAFE, a sitcom in and around a seafront tearoom, run by three generations of women: nan, mum and daughter. if you know it, you know what i mean. if this is new to you too, go get it. somewhere. beyond the sea. ho! man, i love seagulls crying! ☻

some weekend

where i grew up, i walked to school, joined by a neighbour friend. 

who was going to marry me. 

he's moved out of the area now. 
as have i. 

when i go visit mum, she always sits on this chair {left}. 

her whole long life's evolved around it, and she's old. 

i gaze at this cloudy view from my chair. 

walking to the railway station in the rain, 

i found this intriguing piece of architecture, and snapped it, 

before it'll gravely change into a solid house.

as i was getting ready to go thrifting 
i was waiting...

on a train... 

having no images of today's thrift shop result yet,
 a few oldies but goldies slipped in.

since many people wonder, 

when ever am i showing more of the downstairs renovation.... ??

... some sneak peeks.

yes! i am into photographing sockets: 

renovation makes me go barmy a few times a week. 

but before long... 

....this bohemian kitchenette {middle} will be no more... 

and this old bookcase {right}... 

will become a much needed side cupboard.

soon we'll see the world passing by our window again. 

it is free {thank you, tanita tikaram}, 

and travel happens in the head here.

mostly.
