Angels in the Fens
After hearing a compelling podcast by Robert Macfarlane about a church full of extraordinary angels I took a couple of trains to the small town of March in Cambridgeshire. The walk from the station to the church goes through the … Continue reading

Sally Kindberg in Cornwall once again
Sometimes only gazing at and walking by the sea can bring a momentary respite from the news of global ghastliness. And I was almost born in the sea, after all, but in the Devon sea which lapped at the end … Continue reading

Sally Kindberg and forest magic
Recently, to see off a dark mood after an almost sleepless night, I walked through the woods in Hampstead Heath, heading towards Kenwood House through patches of dappled sunlight and the scent of lime blossom. I took a wrong turning … Continue reading

Sally Kindberg and the Triola
A few weeks ago while looking for something else entirely I discovered my daughter’s old Triola, a musical instrument made by C.A.Seydel Sohne, a kind of melodica made for children. What a delight! To avoid annoying my upstairs neighbours, I … Continue reading

Sally Kindberg in Cornwall again
With a fresh notebook, a pen or two and my walking boots I set out for Penzance, feeling my usual excitement as the train crossed over the Tamar from Devon via the Brunel Bridge. Operational since 1859, it enabled an … Continue reading

Sally Kindberg and urban wildlife
Elegant giraffe ladies can be seen posing in a tattooist’s window in Camden Town – it doesn’t seem polite to enquire if they are the tattooists themselves. If you happen to be walking through London’s Regents Park nearby, and the … Continue reading

Sally Kindberg in Cornwall (part two)
I visited Cornwall recently to collect my small travelling Museum of Dust – its next stop is to briefly join an exhibition at the Art Workers Guild, then on to Swedenborg House (where I sometimes run workshops), later this year. … Continue reading
