Diary 266: An Alice Solantania Saga Weekend in East Dulwich

"why i wake early

hello, sun in my face.

hello, you who made the morning

and spread it over the fields

and into the faces of the tulips

and the nodding morning glories,

and into the windows of, even, the

miserable and the crotchety-

best preacher that ever was,

dear start, that just happens

to be where you are in the universe

to keep us from ever-darkness,

to ease us with warm touching,

to hold us in the great hands of light-

good morning, good morning, good morning.

watch, now, how i start the day

in happiness, in kindness."

 we here in london are about to get spring. and it makes all the difference. i have had 2 beautiful morning walks with filip & fredrik (bring a drink hahaha), had such a sunshine saturday so i devoured our local saturday market. i did not plan to buy eggs but this happened, even duck eggs:))) i met jessie of jessie makes, her smile is = the most adorable. then i hung out at the french house & toast dulwich. it basically sums it all up. now i am ready for a new week of wonders.

my days, at the moment, are filled with scanning original prints & playing with photoshop! too i am adoring exploring apps both for photography & film:)))

it's impossible,

said pride.

it's risky,

said experience.

it's pointless,

said reason.

give it a try,

whispered the heart.
