Exploring life, wherever the path takes us.
Letting our curiosity guide us. Making Field Notes as we go.
Emergence
We wonder, out loud, if butterflies get nervous before they emerge
Portugal - Tides and Tiles
Our grand plans to explore Portugal - a country we had never visited before - coincided with the lockdown restrictions of a global pandemic. Our 3-month stay became a chance to celebrate the small details of local life

Feasts + Fables #fiftyfivesongs
The soundtrack to Mr Fables’ ‘summer of creativity’ as he turned 55 years young in 2020. An eclectic reflection of many moods: Foals, Massive Attack, Elbow, Orbital and Fleet Foxes, among others
The Meal That ‘Rocked’
We are missing meals out so very much. Time to remember Michelin Star fine (and fun) dining at Ynyshir restaurant in Wales where chef Gareth Ward is at the very top of his game
‘First, Catch’ by Thom Eagle
When is a cookbook not a cookbook? In the hands of author and food writer Thom Eagle ‘First, Catch’ is a rich exploration of the preparations for a Spring meal. Food writing at its most delicious
