Ice encased weeds on a doorstep.
Photo of the bathroom window. Stained glass panel from our old house. The top of some toiletries, blue sky and snowy garden with a stonking set of stalactites hanging down.
Exact same photo minutes later with a proper pink hue.
Photo of snow covered back garden. Looks black and white though is in fact colour. White, white whiteness and falling snow.
Photo from the train of untouched snow on hills. Broken by a drystone wall and single tree. Slate blue sky in contrast.
Photo of Sid on the side of what was Lightwood reservoir, looking into the distance. A lone figure on a snowy hillside.
Photo of Sid running in thick snow, garden transformed to winter wonderland and silence.
Photo of an iced plant up at Lightwood. Like an intricate crystal ornament on long brown reeds.
Photo from the bedroom window looking up to Lightwood. Crispy frost, pinkish sky and rolling cloud over the peaks.
Photo of Sid in full leap over a sodden flag stoned path on Shining Tor. Mid air, full stretch and wild ears.
Black and white photo of a jotter with scrappy writing timetable counting down to Sunday (deadline 3.1.25… keeping a bit of wriggle room).
Black and white photo of trainers/boots littered across the hall floor and passing legs.
Sid lying on the settee, giant tennis ball under his paint pot paw. Looking mournful. Colourful cushions.
Photo of Sid sitting and looking at the hill opposite. Beautiful, rich sunset and Buxton lights twinkling in the distance.
Photo of scribbled submission work plan, highlighting clear days across the Crimbo break and allocating the 5 (yes 5) chapters/indexing. The notebook is on a similarly randomly filled notebook. Gulp.
Photo of Sid on the lane from Lightwood to Buxton. Large puddles, looming dusk and the palest pink of clouds.
Photo of Solomon’s Temple above Buxton. Sid heading into the iconic tower in the distance. Distant misty peaks and gathering clouds.
A photo of a sweep of peaks, patches of sunshine in the distance. Sid standing smelling the air. Beautiful views, low clouds and glimpses of blue sky.
Photo of two Playmobil fellas in police and emergency uniforms by a glass candleholder.
Photo from train window of golden sunrise, tree silhouettes and a beautiful deep grey sky.
Photo from the train between Chapel and Whaley Bridge. Early morning sun in far peaks with beautiful late Autumn colours.
Black and white photo of Sid a black scruffy dawg, lying on a blanket on the settee looking sad.
Photo from the rainy train window at Reading station. Lights, an ad and people. Pale blue seating.
Photo of van blankets. Thick beast, random granny squares and mosaic versions all in bright colours…
Soaking wet photo from the train. One person on the platform opposite with a pram, signs, alarms and red boxes.
Picture of a snow filled road on the turn to slush. Blues, whites and backs. A few footprints.
Photo of Peaks from indoors. Beautiful sweep of white snow, blue sky and deep grey cloud.
Photo of Ripon Cathedral taken from the car, late afternoon. Imposing building with a backdrop of blue sky (haha).
