Fresh home made scones with raspberry jam and cream do have a tendency to brighten up any Saturday, even one spent moping around the house about nothing in particular.

It has taken me a while to write this up and publish it. I feel the weight of memories pressing down on me, but find it difficult to get a good flow going what with University, work, family and friend commitments. I also will not be writing about any aspects of my work during my time there, so much of what I was feeling and experiencing has been omitted. This film diary will be in three parts, so keep an eye out for the others.
O thou, with dewy locks, who lookest down Thro' the clear windows of the morning; turn Thine angel eyes upon our western isle, Which in full choir hails thy approach, O Spring! The hills tell each other, and the list'ning Vallies hear; all our longing eyes are turned Up to thy bright pavillions: issue forth, And let thy holy feet visit our clime. Come o'er the eastern hills, and let our winds Kiss thy perfumed garments; let us taste Thy morn and evening breath; scatter thy pearls Upon our love-sick land that mourns for thee. O deck her forth with thy fair fingers; pour Thy soft kisses on her bosom; and put Thy golden crown upon her languish'd head, Whose modest tresses were bound up for thee! - William Blake. It feels as if there has been no Winter here. No icy cold days where one absolutely must wear a coat out. In fact, I'm not sure if I wore a coat all season. It is like Winter looked at us and said "Nope, maybe next year". I am, in a way, making up for it though, by spending so much time in the Winter of another continent. A Winter much harsher than ever experienced here. All the same, today felt a bit like Spring, with muggy rain and blossoms beginning to burst open. I'd like to say it is my favourite time of year, but it really isn't. Magpies take care of that. No, Autumn is my favourite, but it's a long wait till she comes around again. For now, I must make the most of Spring, which includes spending my Sunday huddled away reading.
I dropped my film off to be processed today. I am so looking forward to getting it back and sifting through the memories, the stories behind each photograph. Be sure to look out for some film diaries being posted here in a couple of weeks.
