Colour photograph in shades of blue and brown. An old and broken walkway descends and curves away to the right. It leads down to a white row boat that rests on the mud flats of the Thames estuary. Across the water wind turbines line the shore. The blue sky is littered with fast moving clouds.

What you can’t see is that the scrub grass on the left is jumping with curlews singing their beautiful and plantiff call in the furious icy wind.

Warming up under a duvet after watching fireworks on the beach with the rest of the town, friendly and happy evening. #Whitstable

It’s the shortest day of the year with sunset at 3.49pm! I love the #wintersolstice, from here the days get longer for 6 whole months.

Colour photograph in shades of gold and blue. A three pane window, the bottom has condensation lit in gold by the rising sun. The top, above the flat roofline, is a clear light blue sky with fragments of high cloud.

Colour photograph in shades of blue and grey. In the foreground are soft mounds of a duvet barely lit from behind by the soft pre-dawn light creeping in through a window.

Colour photograph in shades of beige. The foreground shows a martini glass with an olive in it, sitting on a table with croquettes and a tea light. Beyond the edge of the table are people sitting in a bar.

Colour photograph in shades of terracotta and grey. In the foreground there is the edge of a teacup and teapot in a tray. Beyond the edge of the table a woman sits at another table in the corner of a glass room, surrounded by reflections. A bright red chair cuts through the center of the image.

Colour photograph in shades of beige and aqua. A dimly lit, morning bathroom window sill. On the sill are various glass bottles, some small personal items, a mirrored box and a magnifying mirror. The slim tendrils of a hanging plant drop down from above.

Multi coloured photograph of a grass bank falling away to meet a line of brightly painted beach huts, in front of a still glassy sea, reflecting the light of a mottled early evening sky.

Day job to tide me over- luckily it’s one with its own value beyond the regular wages - working for a medical school, helping to train new doctors.

Colour photograph in shades of teal and white. Looking through a doorway hung with patterned navy robes, an unmade bed, dressed in white and sunlight, sits in a teal room. There are spots of raspberry in the painting above the bed and in the bedside lampshade.

Colour photograph in shades of grey, blue and terracotta. A street corner with steel street furniture. Ahead shows the sides of a mundane office building and a terracotta coloured supermarket. On the left is the street reflected in the side view mirror of a pale blue car.

"Creativity week" has been Archiving week. Focused time ensuring that 30-plus years' worth of images are backed up and organised in a meaningful, accessible way. I found lost/mislabelled images, or images that always had the same name, through the naming schemes of different cameras - "keep both" πŸ˜…

Black and White layered photograph. An old wooden rowing fishing boat lies on a dry pebble shore. A rope falls loosely from the bow. Dry seed heads appear to grow through the hull and into the sky.
