Solstice ~ 3/4 Way Through Draught 2


Hand i̶n̶ Glove 2?

With so many of these gloves being discarded on the streets during lock-down, I am giving serious thought to producing a sequel to Sweyne's Eye ~ (Hand i̶n̶ Glove)

My First Lock-down Walk

I went on my first lock-down walk this afternoon, taking a quick meander through my local woods. This was my first walk in over six weeks! The walk from my front door, through the woods, and back home again lasted all of 15 minutes. But it was worth every second :)







My New Read


This arrived in the post yesterday, and I am already caught in its spell. Thanks @Waterstones and @arobertwebb

Sweyne's Eye - Oystermouth Castle

As I crack on with the second draft of my Christmas ghost story, I thought I would spend the next few posts here on Pixie-Led sharing some images from my latest photography zines.  This trio of images of Oystermouth Castle can be found in this particular issue of this particular issue of Sweyen's Eye.

Mother and Bay House Sparrows

These little treasures visited my garden this afternoon - a mother House Sparrow with her fledgeling. It was lovely seeing them drink from our small pond and seeing the baby being fed every time she flapped her wings for attention. Moments I will treasure in the dark times we are living through right now.
