I see interesting patterns everywhere – even dull concrete can be an inspiration. I love the fact that nature always prevails and plants push their way through solid concrete just to reach the light. Cracks form under foot too for no reason other than decay and old age.

Kinghorn beach is mostly made up of the standard dark yellow sand, but we do get whole swathes of black sand as well that form intricate patterns on the beach when the tide goes out.

It’s hard for me to pin point my favourite David Bowie track as they’re all so amazing, but if I was on Desert Island Discs, this would be the one I would chose to be one of my 8 tracks. To me, it’s so uplifting and I love it when it comes on the radio […]
