A quote on a wall saying, “Among all phenomena, it is really the only one to which there be so definitely attributed the opposing values of good and evil. It shines in Paradise. It burns in Hell. It is gentleness and torture. It is cookery and it is apocalypse. It is a pleasure for the good child sitting prudently by the hearth; yet it punished any disobedience when the child wishes to play too close to its flames. It is well-being and it is respect. It is a tutelary and a terrible divinity, both good and bad. It can contradict itself; thus it is one of the principles of universal explanation.” By Gaston Bachelard from ‘The Psychoanalysis of Fire’.

Back in #Liverpool for the closing weekend of the #Firehawks exhibition at Open Eye Gallery

The powerful images from photographer Stephen King capture the trauma that can sit behind child #firesetting behaviour

How #fire draws attention to pain and harm too big and frightening for words to explain

I’m blessed to have many work moments I’m proud of

Tonight was definitely one of them, delivering an opening address at the #Firehawks launch

The #photography of Stephen King provides a literal and metaphorical lens into the #trauma that can sit behind child #firesetting behaviour

Re-reading Mini & Me this #WorldBookDay to inform my latest #book

I use cards as bookmarks so imagine my grin upon opening the pages to find a card from when I ran the #firesetting team at the London Fire Brigade

I wonder if I can get “bloody, bloody decent lovely excellent boss” made into a badge

Working late writing the next chapter in my latest #book on child #firesetting behaviour

I’m snacking on rice cakes for energy, and imagine my delight upon discovering on the side of the packet a poem about a diligent mouse

Writing inspiration comes in many forms
