Gratitude’s Grey Roar

Cullercoats Bay, 03 March, 2022, 14.54

5 things I’m grateful for right now:

1. Getting back into the sea and her always being there for me.

2. My body who is getting me around each day as I venture back into the world after hibernation.

3. Early white and pink blossom coming out on fruit trees.

4. Miss Ella diving back into school and her social life.

5. The weekend is just around the corner and hopefully a lie in.

The Healing Properties Of The Seas, 2022


The new creative project which has been knocking around for a while now is exploring my love of the sea. The Healing Properties of the Seas, 2022.

I’ve been living with this project for about five years now; whenever I’m near the sea, or any body of water, taking a moment to breathe it in and then capturing 10 seconds of it.

I’m not even sure where the idea came from or why 10 seconds. But I know I have thousands of these little films.

To go through them all and post them online seemed a daunting task. But I know how much joy being with the sea brings me and I’m always trying to find ways to share this joy.

So to make it happen, to make this project happen, I’ve taken 2022 as my year to share, The Healing Properties of the Seas, 2022.

The task is simple. Share 10 second videos I create in 2022 of bodies of water I see, visit, get close to, get into.

You’ll find some clips in blog posts but hopefully all of them in the portfolio. Enjoy.
