I am so, so happy to be home now, even though I didn't want to leave Australia. There are so many things here that I am looking forward to catching up with and getting stuck into. I woke up last night, having arrived in the UK early yesterday morning and (predictably) couldn't sleep because I was so excited (and jet lagged, and bizarrely craving weetabix). It's such a weird feeling, time travelling, and waking up in my own bed after two months away, feeling for a second or two that perhaps the whole trip was just a very good dream!
Anyway, as if I enjoy sitting endlessly on my bum in various guises of transport, this evening I'm getting a train to deepest darkest Somerset for a very exciting shoot for an extremely talented wedding dress designer. The new collection will be shot with such a beautiful theme, and although getting married is absolutely no way near my radar, I see nothing wrong with prancing around like a princess in various manifestations of lace, silk, beads and sparkles for the day.
Finally, I thought I'd show you some images by Peter Cassar, taken on a beach in Geelong, Australia. First, the set up (a shot on my phone; what a lovely, lonely, lost looking chair!):
Later, I'm really not sure what would have looked more strange to the woman strolling past along the beach, me sitting nude on a wooden chair on the sand, or Peter using a house-hold broom to meticulously smooth out the sand around me. He didn't quite succeed in sweeping up the whole beach, but we did make these images, the first of which is called 'Amphitrite':
The chair angled itself so perfectly before crashing violently into the waves (I'm going to take credit for a good throw; no trickery required... :-))
