In search of waterfalls

Posted on July 19, 2015 by Helen White

Turning history on its head

Posted on April 19, 2015 by Helen White

These last weeks, something made me dive back into that very old interest of mine, researching my family history…but not at all in the same way as I looked at this before. I had grown weary with this ‘hobby’ years … Continue reading →

Posted on February 21, 2015 by Helen White

Posted on February 17, 2015 by Helen White

Another trip of the heart just completed; a revisit to Avebury’s stones only, this time, for a weekend so that we could explore that ancient landscape further, go for total emersion and take our time joining many dots. I’ve talked … Continue reading →

Joining dots and crossing over

Posted on January 2, 2015 by Helen White

I always like to start a new year somewhere high up with a good strong wind. Yesterday, it was a particular stretch of the Ridgeway (one of England’s most ancient routes) that I hadn’t walked before, being mostly familiar with … Continue reading →

Of peacocks and dragons…

Posted on November 5, 2014 by Helen White

Windows of insight

Posted on October 10, 2014 by Helen White

All along the road that has been the fibromyalgia years, ‘brain fog’ (an appropriately wooly term used to describe a myriad of ‘brain symptoms’) has been such a significant part of what I have been experiencing…and, in fact, its one … Continue reading →

Grassing over the bumps

Posted on September 10, 2014 by Helen White

I’ve made no bones about it, in more than one previous post; Silchester is a very special place to me, somewhere I save for those walks when I have a certain amount of processing to do or when I am … Continue reading →

Rebirthing

Posted on April 15, 2014 by Helen White

Towards the end of last year, which felt like a giant’s step forward and dusting-down-yawn-stretch in the journey of me, I started on a new painting; had a canvas specially made to the size I wanted, knowing just what I … Continue reading →

Posted on February 14, 2014 by Helen White
