hi lovely readers😊
i do adore anais nïn
(it started around this time)
tomorrow is may 1st!!!
it has felt SO far away but now it is so close:)
i am going to avignon, france on may 17th!
this beautiful inspiring woman has had me in awe for more than a year:)
for me to visit this magical place, thanks jamie:)
i am so excited and have such hopes for me discovering this lovely area.
i am to live in a flat rented via airbnb,
so i'll have my own kitchen etc etc i am to live 10 days as a local person i hope🌸
a local that captures everything beauty in as many moments as possibly can happen.
so i finished wuthering heights (by emily brontë),
i am glad to announce that despite the sadness of so many lives of the characters,
the ending is so beautifully wonderful
filled
with hope and a reckoning of sorts:)
yesterday was time to start another jane austen book:)
emma!
i hope it is equal to
persuasion, mansfield park and sense & sensibility,
all books of her that i now love adore.
on another note,
i love being a member of a gym.
especially taking some of their classes.
most fun has been bootcamp and
the most useful has been stretch & define
which is such an addition to my ballet classes:)
i never would have known had i not tried all these various classes offered.
so i am glad i have braved all sorts of classes.
one class that was sort of not for me has been boxcercise,
oh dear how exhausting!
of course daily = photoshop
where did you go my dear sisters?
i've been searching for you for such a long time.
been wearing some cute springy things lately:)
i love my to be adored dress💜
i styled a couple of lookbooks for binbin's to be adored label a few years ago, it may have been 2010 or so. the above dress was a gift to me, it's from her first collection which i loved SO much.
another shoot was this one.
i think her website is now here.
you might be wondering if you are checking out my links...yes i am the stylist linda portman!
for the longest time i have divided us up. it's just that i live for sisterhood, i live for trinity. i would have adored to have sisters.
so there you go:
alice, lindha & violette😊

a year ago, i went to kew gardens in richmond and started creating again after about a year and a half of silence. i did have and am still on that journey.
the below 2 were the first ones i created:)
such a lovely entrance:))))
i love those lilacs.
epping spring perfection
as you saw in the last blogpost my love helen helped me cut the plywood i had planned for still life shoots in my bedroom. i did not have patience to try this when i have painted the wood so put my newley bought clay dish as a subject in front of it:)
can't wait to paint my wood, to shoot food flowers and anything else lovely for still life images:)
tomorrow i am to cook in my new oven dish, healthily🌸🌷😊
tomorrow = may💕💕💕
my may self-portrait is the image as seen above, only different shades.
do you like one over the other?
this will be my love my flat come may 17th:)))
avignon france
will share all about this of course when time comes
i'll leave you with this💜
i am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason. i am so thirsty for the marvellous that only the marvellous has power over me. anything i can not transform into something marvellous, i let go. reality doesn't impress me. i only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, i escape, one way or another. no more walls.

anaïs nin
you are exciting you are wonderful you are marvellous
let magic shine through you
no more walls
faith hope & love
