A farm I walked by on Tresco when I was visiting ... I have punched the colours, and done my silk print painterly thing on it, and this is a more extreme filter than I usually use, but I need extremity in my life right now. And the silence of a farm on a deserted road on an island off the coast of Cornwall. • I never thought I'd post this shot, only because I'm not a real farm person (more beachy or 🗻), but after all the fluffy-butt chickens and sweetly tamed goats I've seen on Instagram, not to mention the stunning ponies and stallions, and herding pups and cats, I thought I'd roll out a bit of farm for May! 🚜🐄👢🌽😊 • Hope you enjoy my 'Escape to the Country' in Scilly ... and my 'ansome barn. • #HairyArmRoad #cowfarm #IslesofScilly #Tresco #WritersofInstagram #Editors #walkersandwriters #EscapetotheCountry Sylvie with her 6 Cygnets last Tuesday morning when I found them after two days of serious storms ... They don't come to their nest anymore, however, as the pond in that corner has become so flooded with sewage and bacteria that it would most likely kill them all, certainly the babies, if they returned. • Thus, they are more or less vagrant swimming the perimeters to steer clear of the 'algae-shit-blooms', (and if anyone wants to see a photo of the evidence, DM me). It's unbelievable people still think they demonstrate moral superiority by poisoning natural resources and the lives of other creatures, but they do in #Massacuckoo and I've even seen it at Crane Beach! 😵 • There's a small cove at the opposite end of the pond away from where the sewage streams in, and this is where the swans find rest and shade. I (fool!) placed dried reeds and pine needles over on that bank to provide nesting material for Sylvie, and noticed her resting there a few nights ago with Cecil and the babies. So far, so good ... • The Cygnets are much lighter than my photo suggests, a light fluffy white-grey, they're healthy and swim vigorously round the pond with their parents ... Already they forage for their food, and all are very endearing. • I'm writing as much as I can every day, struggling to stay sane, and as a result gin-o-clock happens not just on weekends, as in the past ... Not quite satisfied with this development but perhaps I'm just too British-Cornish inside to give a bloody farthing what anybody thinks! 😄🌞🇬🇧 • Considering the idea of creating my own page on patreon.com to post excerpts of my stories and screenplays ... The site allows visitors/friends/benefactors to contribute or not, and I occasionally contemplate this option to avoid missing out on some benevolent patron, who wants to feel like a Medici for a day! Besides, the idea of nothing but swans, endless gin-o-clocks, and polluting shitty Yankees ... Eek! *shudders* 😂✍ • #WriterofInstagram #CygnetSeason #fowlednests #Editors #EllPond #Massacuckoo #ginoclock #Adventures #patreon #DevelopingLight #literaryagents Virginia Woolf's desk ... Photo by Gisele Freund, and if you continue through, you'll find wonderful moments from her life interpreted by Roger Fry in a painting from 1907, a brilliantly lit shot of Virginia at Monks House, another of Virginia by Freund, and a more leisurely photo of her with Lytton Strachey and others of the art community that made up the Bloomsbury Group -- lounging in Lady Ottoline Morell's garden. I've also included my own mother here, Vera Catherine Cash Durham, painter, pianist, wife, and mother--murdered by thugs in Alabama, 2008, not without a great deal of personal pain. • Why Virginia Woolf on 5/14 Mother's Day? To quote the ever quotable Virginia Woolf: 'For we think back through our mothers if we are are women. It is useless to go to the great men writers for help, however much one may go to them for pleasure.' • 'Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no lock, no gate, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.' • 'For most of history, Anonymous was a woman.' • 'No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anyone but oneself.' • Virginia Woolf taught me to read in high school, I read her incessantly, and she probably taught me, by immersion, how to go about writing my first story, though I began these wandering narratives in grade school. In thanking Mothers on Mother's Day, I want to pay homage to a great writer and founder of Modernism, who created the very forms of narrative discourse we depend on today in literature, film, poems, and all media ... Perhaps without even knowing it, without imagining who laid the foundation for the way we tell our stories, the way we interpret events, and understand human affairs and psychology ... Virginia Woolf was there first. She had no children but her books, books that birthed so many others you might call her the Mother of Modern Consciousness ... And she loved St Ives, Cornwall, as well ... So Happy Mother's Day -- Virginia and Vera! 💐 • #MothersDay #VirginiaWoolf #WomensFiction #VeraCatherineCashDurham #vulnerablewomen #WritersofInstagram #Editors #ScreenwritersofInstagram #MotherCountry #England #Cornwall #StIves #GodrevyLight #mothertongue #EnglishLiterature This post is a bit of a lark, a page from my life, a diary of my daily obsessions, and equally ... my squad goals! Introducing @escapetothecountry my favorite television series, which I cast from my cell phone to the telly all day, whilst I write and go about my other business--shopping my current book to literary agents. • When I first saw this photo, I thought it was La Dolce Vita with Marcello Mastroianni, but looking closer I realized it was Some Like It Hot with MM and Tony Curtis! 😆🔥🎆 • How wonderful to have your own country pile, to invite your mates over for a summer buffet and drinks, to project a film classic in such a charming manner in the back garden with lovely chaise lounges, chairs, and the odd overstuffed loveseat strewn about ... Oh, the parties I would throw! The stories I could tell, and the big comfy pillows I would place all round for your sleepy children to drift off on, in the protective haze of lanterns, laughter, chatter, and citronella candles (bug-off!), with all tummies filled with good things ... British food, Cornish food, Southern classics, and puddings! 😋🍥 • This series has rescued my mood more times than you'd imagine--only rivaled by @englishhomemag ... So please, won't you drop by and bring yourselves ... And be part of my squad goals as I work to effect my imminent ... #EscapefromMassacuckoo!😊🍹🍷🌞 • #ThanksEscapetotheCountry #WritersofInstagram #Editors #Screenwriters #expatdreams #England #Adventures #Cornwall #DevelopingLight #SquadGoals #Cinema #futureproducer #countrypile #gardenparties I decided it was time for a repost, as I've been busy editing my book Developing Light to show to agents, and when I saw this painting by British painter Jean Wheeler, I knew I wanted to share it with you here ... There are several reasons for this: the lighting, which has a wonderfully Cornish feeling, the setting -- a cool hotel room decorated in a retro feel overlooking the ocean, and outside of my own much-dreamt-of-cottage overlooking the Southwest Coast, what could be more inviting? • I think Jean Wheeler is an extraordinary artist, (and if I had an extra $6,000 or so, I'd snap this up for the sitting room), right? I admire the Hockney-like virtuosity, and think she's even better in this piece ... Less cryptic, more evocative, less Californian, which I feel can come off as vacuous in Hockney ... I personally know how that LA sun can blind! But unfortunately, I could find no actual information on her. • Summer Squad Goals? By my birthday in late June have enough money in the bank to actually become that lady, take in the air of the Cornish Coast again, or Sullivan's Island, buy the painting, and meet up with a few special friends for G&Ts on the balcony ... Are you in? (If so, send me a BRILLIANT agent!) P.S. Hope you like this one--as I think it's top notch! Thank you @cathedralfineart 🎨🌞💙🌻 • #WritersofInstagram #Editors #Artlovers #CornishLight #SummerSquadGoals #AgentGoals #DevelopingLight #Adventures • @Regrann from @cathedralfineart - The Blue Bikini - 1970's oil painting. Love the colours! #oilpainting #bikini #bikinis #vintageswimwear #1970s #art #painting #interiordesign - #regrann Some people travel to Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, and never leave ... • I created this double exposure today after seeing what Teresa @mrs_c66 achieved with her new camera toys, and inspired ... thought about the photos I personally like but perhaps don't quite meet the exquisite standards of the photos that inspire me here everyday ... But as I've been writing a lot lately, I've also been thinking about London, Cornwall, and Scilly, and the things I'd be freed up to write once I was safely settled in a cottage somewhere there ... rather than eking by here. • And this is what happened ... A shot I took of a figurehead from a ship that sank off Tresco displayed in the Valhalla Museum laid atop one I took of the land along the Southwest Coastal Path in Cornwall ... • Thus, it appears to be a visual metaphor about the influence of Great Britain on my life ... My soul being trapped somewhere between Cornwall and the islands of Scilly, while I make my voice loud, original, and clear -- worthy of being heard and translated into something you'll all want to have as part of your lives ... Voila! ✍🎬😊 • Thanks @mrs_66 ! 😊😘 • @visitislesofscilly @igerscornwall #WritersofInstagram #Editors #IslesofScilly #Tresco #ValhallaMuseum #TrescoAbbeyGardens #19thCenturyFigureheads #AdventuresinParadise #DevelopingLight #ScreenwritersEye #ScreenwritersofInstagram #doubleexposure #Pixlr
