The night has started to dissolve into day as I hand over my passport a minute or two after 5am.

8am Saturday morning and North London still having breakfast.

Work is progressing on a few new ‘zines… “All The Things I Like About Audax…and one thing I don’t”, based on an old post Stamp Collecting, that came about after being invited to give a talk about audax at Glasgow Zine Fest last month.

Hammer Rookery Churchsettle Buttons Snape Yew Tree From the flatlands behind the Downs up to the High Weald.

Bracken unfurls skywards, sun salutations, as bluebells fade.

The tide must have dragged the ferry across the Channel as we’re kicked off earlier than usual, 4am.

Pevensey Levels, reeds yield to the wind.

I’ll be at a few events over the next couple of months with prints and zines available to view and purchase should the fancy take you.

Towards the end of last year I read Horatio Clare’s book We Came By Sea about the ‘small boats crisis’ but from angles not usually portrayed in newspapers and broadcast media, i.e., humanity and generosity.

Two new zines about the South Downs will be available by the end of the month in the UK via my Big Cartel shop or in person from me at zine fairs.
