Yay! I’m amazed I managed it but a late push got me through to the 50k word target and beyond. Apologies if anyone has been waiting on me for anything! I’ve been kinda single-minded!

It's been a few months now since this fantastic EWE-crew shoot at Bennetts Willow Barn, and with the EWE (Eclectic Wedding Extravaganza) show coming up 14/15 October, this seemed like the perfect time to share these images again.

Everything about this shoot, from the beautiful dresses, stunning dresses, evocative woodland styling, to the sheer energy of these two, was magical and the magic has been totally captured by photography.

Many of the folk involved in creating this shoot will be at the EWE show, so if you're wondering whether ewe would like a willowy and wistful woodland wedding, with wafty weaves, woven wreaths and the wind whispering melodies through the harp strings, then come along next weekend.

Below, you can check out the folk who brought their vast stores of creativity and talent to this shoot, and who are ready to help bring your ideas to fruition...

If you can stomach, check out Coyote Annie for what it's like for Trans folk in some parts of the US at the moment (she may well be on YouTube as well as TikTok, haven't searched that yet). It's terrifying.

This is a reminder that Equalities minister, Kemi Badenoch had a meeting with DeSantis, governor of Florida. Don't let anti-Trans rhetoric prosper in the UK. Wherever, whenever you hear it, squash it! There's no "reasonable concerns" that have any traction when in a context where Trans folk are being outlawed just for existing, in the western world in 2024! There is no gender ideology, but there is gender critical ideology! You'll find no tolerance here for "reasonable concerns" or "genuine questions". And if you think Trans folk and their allies are being belligerent about this, it's cos we've seen so much hate that follows on from these "reasonable" and "genuine" concerns and we just don't believe it any more. There is no "public debate" to be had whilst the bottom line of people being allowed to be who they are is under such sustained attack.

please watch the whole thing friends 🏳️‍⚧️❤️
