There are pros and cons to lying low in Soho. On the one hand, there are so many people around that it’s easy to go unnoticed amongst the crowd; on […]

From my walk home yesterday at #twilight - I love the feeling as the light fades Celestial support for our progressive Scottish cousins So much in this beautiful book resonates with me - on grief, depression, self-critical tendencies - but despite embracing an exploration of dark times and feelings, it’s also very funny and quietly poetic as it makes the case for self-acceptance and feeling the sadness rather than trying to mask/eat/exorcise/exercise it away… I’m sorry that I didn’t treat the cover with more #Delicacy Got papped by @hannahjonesxxx on #NewYearsDay / birthday walk with @usherchic2 @passthechaaps & @mistersamjones (and Wren the #workingdog on her day off) in Oxleas Woods - obviously we also had a mystery to solve led by Sammy in his #deerstalker Dad singing ‘Meet on the Ledge’ with The Flying Bricks. It’s been a year… grief isn’t linear, but it’s a milestone it’s hard to ignore. Dad is around me all the time - literally on the walls with his art, and in my thoughts. So many things remind me of him. Recently in my dreams he has been a younger version of himself, more in focus than he was these last few years - but until the end he knew himself and was surrounded by love. It’s a precious thing, worth so much more than money - I know we were lucky to have him, and he was lucky to have us - it was a thing we built together as a family that’s still there, which he’ll always be part of. I do bloody miss him though. Autumnals in #KelseyPark 🍂 #autumn #autumnal #sundaystroll TONIGHT! @chapschoir’s #BraceYourself finally returns to @bgwmc - tickets £10 on the door - it will be FUN! 📸 by Tom Chaplin (not that one) from a previous Brace Yourself, at which I look concerned about the presence of brass instruments; I’m assured there will be no trumpets tonight, just plenty of HOT CHAP ACTION* (*singing) 👯‍♂️👯‍♂️👯‍♂️ as well as some cabaret-style hijinx, beautiful DJs and general merriment… join us! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 Very excited that @chapschoir is going cabaret-style again this month! 👯‍♂️👯‍♂️👯‍♂️👇 Lovely weekend away with my favourites by the sea #margate #westgateonsea #seagulls #sunset #seaside #shadows #pleaseleavequietly
