We are travelling again. We are currently in Croatia for three weeks, then Greece for four. I have many stories to tell but they are not ready to be told. It’s not a lack of time. We are travelling slow and easy; I have all the hours I need to write the stories of our travels. They tell themselves to me in my head but not yet in tangible form. It feels arduous, so I leave them until they are willing to emerge. The roots are forming and soon they will put up shoots and flower.

Meanwhile what has emerged are these photos of the people I’ve seen along the way.
