My homage to Paul Caponigro's excellent Galaxy Apple photograph.
'Twas a tasty fruit too :)

The Glastonbury Zine (Day 6/100)
May 6, 2022
Worked all day. I have about half of the first article written about the night I spent on Wearyall Hill. All the photos for that feature are ready to go. I have also sorted the images for the photo essay that follows immediately from that first article in the upcoming first issue of Avalon - The Glastonbury Zine
Please find a few images from the zine below:

Avalon ~ The Glastonbury Zine
May 04, 2022

| Probably the best bench in Glastonbury |
"Whenever my mind turns to Glastonbury, I always remember the times I spent there atop Wearyall Hill. Once I spent hours on its summit in the freezing snow of a Winter’s solstice, having mistimed the sunrise! Sat there in the complete darkness, I still remember the chill and the shuffling and munching noises of the local sheep, made mysterious in the blackness of the night, who came to keep me company. It was as though it had happened only yesterday..."
- snippet from the upcoming issue 1 of Avalon -The Glastonbury zine
Despite the nagging of The Soosh, I managed to get the new Avalon zine website up and running today :)
I have also sorted the imagery that will accompany the article I am writing for the physical Avalon zine, some of which you can see below:
I like the images above as I think they illustrate the stark polarities that characterise the human condition. In this instance, people who go out of their way to wantonly kill something as innocent as a tree and those who cherished and actually loved the now sadly demised Glastonbury Thorn. I count myself lucky to have had the opportunity of both witnessing and recording the ceremony. Sadly, even the trunk of the tree has now been removed from the hill :(
Anyway, I think that's enough work done for today...

100 Day Project - Day 3
May 03, 2022
I have to admit to being a bit lazy yesterday as I did absolutely zero work on Avalon ~ The Glastonbury Zine. I made up for lost time today though with a solid 4 hours work sorting out imagery and doing a bit of writing too for the zine. 97 days to go....
May Day 100 Day Project
May 1, 2021
Well, day 1 of my #100dayschallenge went smoothly and productively. I have titled the project Avalon - the Glastonbury zine. I've worked out what articles and features will appear in the zine, and have decided if I can find any other writers or artists who would like to contribute to the zine. I have also registered a domain name avalonzine.co.uk to document the progress of the zine, to advertise its presence in the market, to hopefully attract contributors and, ultimately, to get some advertisers on board. It's not online just yet but here is an early preview of its first page:
I think I will call it a day now and get on with stuff. See ya.
The Good Doctor
April 26, 2022
Well, I have finally completed the first draft of the conclusion to my portmanteau folk-horror novel Solstice. Fyi, during the course of writing this concluding story in the book I have decided to change its title from Shiver to The Good Doctor. This should make better sense when people finally get a chance to read the book. Anyway, before I make a start on the story's second draft, I think I will enjoy a nice and very long weekend break and concentrate more on my ongoing health problems...

Battling On...
April 12, 2022
Not feeling too well of late, but I am trying my best to battle on through with the writing of my conclusion to my Solstice series.

Still, there was a little peace to be found in the garden 😎
