SPRING
In the UK, the seasons have distinct transitions between them compared to South Africa. Here in Yorkshire, as town and country blend seamlessly in my world, the arrival of lambing season and blooming daffodils marks the vibrant start of spring. The cycles of nature that unfold. All of this brings a profound sense of connection to the rhythm of life, regardless of what else is happening in the world. A sense of renewal and new splendour. Nature always shows the way.
SUMMER
The colour of summer. A palette of vibrant heady florals, wild cotton grasses and purple heather. Endless cycles, exploring, and walks in the warm sunshine, and the infinite big, big skies once any cloud and showers clear for a while. Beautiful – and sometimes short – summer!
AUTUMN
The first curl of woodsmoke and the knowing of cosy, wintry days to come. Autumn transforms the landscape, gardens and buildings in a breathtaking masterpiece of golden yellows, fiery reds, rustic oranges. The crisp air carries its anticipation, and autumn persuades one to still venture into the woods and nature.
WINTER
“The Silent silence of snow. The exquisite beautiful silence. When it falls – Everything falls
Quiet.
In honour of snow.”
