My mum was originally from Ireland but I was born in London so I’m very much English sounding. It was particularly apparent when I was in Ireland for a few years, despite being and feeling half Irish I sound very English. I’m more relaxed about it now when I go back to see friends and family

I was brought up in a well spoken family, in particular my father was very English and quite formal. I was sent a local state school in England and rapidly became the target for jokes etc because I spoke well. I spent the next few years dumbing down my accent to avoid attention!

I think one of my other images will be on the album- just not this one. It’s not finished yet xx

Harpist - musician Vicki Burke photographed for an album cover project in 2024. This image didn’t make the cut but it’s still a fun photograph #portrait #albumcover

Do you know what bit you? The doctor in the hospital told me what he thought it was. I guess I’ll never know for sure. I hate spiders ……

Agreed…I need to have a trawl my account, rescue any pics that I thought were long lost and then shut it down x

I’m still on it but easing away. The really good folk I met there have also jumped here. I guess I’ll close the page down soon.

Where we meet.

Where we meet.

Truth is not inherited through words,
but words can point at it…

First, you take the word—
gently, without belief.

You listen for what it gestures toward—
Meaning dawns, quiet and intimate.

Then the word falls away, as it must
What remains is not an idea,
but a way of standing.

We don’t really have any seriously venomous spiders here but we do have an increasing number of ‘Noble False Widows’ and whilst their bite is usually no worse than a bee sting sometimes people get a histamine reaction and in my case I came out in hives head to toe 😬 only steroids could sort it.
