"Somewhere in the hollows and spaces between our carefully managed wilderness areas and the creeping, flattening effects of global capitalism, there are still places where an overlooked England truly exists; places where ruderal shrub plants, familiar here since the last ice sheets retreated, have found a way to live with each successive wave of new arrivals; places where the city’s dirty secrets are laid bare and successive human utilities scar the earth or stand cheek by jowl with one another; complicated, unexamined places that thrive on disregard."

Farley & Roberts



Memories have huge staying power,  but like dreams,  they thrive in the dark, surviving for decades in the deep waters of our minds like shipwrecks on the sea bed.
