‘A Sense of Place’ – A selection of posts from the blog have been published, along with a few of my poems and photographs, in the Belgian arts journal The Green Door Issue Five. Many thanks to Barbara at By the Sea for her extraordinary knowledge of quotes and the right place to use them; she sent me the two that come up in the opening piece, and which have helped guide my thoughts on place over this past year. You can view the entire journal in full through the link, and then use the toggle switches to zoom in and move backwards and forwards. ‘A Sense of Place’ begins on page 52.
