The notebook
A walk without a destination
A familiar neighbourhood looks different when the route is left open.
Reading a room by its light
Daylight moves slowly, but its effect on an ordinary room can be striking.
Keeping a useful pocket notebook
A pocket notebook works best when using it feels easy.
Looking at the sky before a walk
The sky offers a changing background to everyday places.
Drawing one ordinary object
Choose an object that can stay still for ten minutes: a cup, a key or a folded cloth.
Making space for an unhurried chapter
Reading time does not have to be long to feel generous.
A small record of seasonal changes
Pick one tree, courtyard or stretch of pavement that you pass regularly.
