Summer here has been quieter and busier often at the same time. Normal routines are out of kilter, studio and writing time have been snatched here and there. Images from a few days spent near Ullswater (in the only half hour when the rain wasn't tipping down...) and in my work room, where I revived my indigo vat catching the last traces of blue before it became completely exhausted.

Time for a longer break with my family, heading north to Scotland. Back here in September.
