Aahhh, September mornings on quiet lanes, the promise of daybreak and sunshine ahead, the silence broken only by those sheep waking up and the sound of my footsteps. These are the days that I always wish could last a little longer, when I wish autumn could linger like the mist on

Hi, I just wanted to share this illustration because I think it’s so beautiful. I’ve no idea who it’s by but it captures a feeling so unique and so comforting to me. Although it looks cold, I feel a warmth coming from it and I just love it. ❤️ #CatsOfTwitter

Leaving this on my tl because it's a beautiful photo, and I took it earlier today by a pond in the park (am in my Impressionist era.) This app is just vanity posts anyways.

One of my favourite photos that I’ve taken. A bench and a lamppost at night on Primrose Hill, London. Unedited in any way. Just simple. And peaceful. Which can’t be said of much of London now. But we can enjoy the moments of peace if and when we find them. Take care and stay safe
