Do you remember Google+? I can hear some laughs and snorts just writing that question. I was one of those poor saps who actually devoted their time to building out their presence on that platform. For real. 90% of what I shared there was my […]

The city for me
Living in a city never really appealed to me. There are a lot of conveniences. But the cost was something that put me off. And the constant nature of a city. It all just felt a bit much. I just needed to find the right […]
Framed
The afternoon light that makes this space sing, even when it’s missing the ceiling and half the floor. Or maybe that’s what makes the place sing? Hopefully it is just the magical afternoon light because the floor is going to get re-added eventually. It’s a […]
