Home - is many things
Privately it is my bedroom that has never been shared all my life except when someone is invited in.
Emotionally it is the skyscape and seascapes of New Zealand - I need to live on or very near to the coast.
Intellectually it is the London of my youth when I was free and the present me was beginning to develop.
When I am homesick far away it is the smell of the bush - it permeates my dreams
Realistically I feel at home wherever I am unafraid, unthreatened and able to sleep - I know the fortune I have to be able to say that. -
Capture: Peak Pohutukawa, in reply to Nora Leggs,
I love that dark red one - especially when mixed with new bright green leaf

And on my bike ride to work - taken on cheap phone so maybe not the best pics - but an absolutely beautiful ride there ...

A few from Mangere Bridge – my favourite bus stop for a while. Sad to see on my work travels about Auckland how many trees have been shaped to accommodate power lines. This taken earlier in December
