Newborns; still soft with sleep and wonder, but eyes full of cheek. Gorgeous.

A little reminder that having your wedding photos taken is a JOY FILLED EXPERIENCE!!! Lyn, Dugan and the boys jumped around on the beach to 15 mins, job done!

They finally did it,
after years of
we’ll get round to it
after school lunches and soccer boots
after the boys grew taller than excuses

Lyn and Dugal,
standing still long enough
to say
yes
out loud

Two boys down
(not down as in fallen,
but down as in
backpacks dropped by the door
shoes never where they should be
still needing reminders
still needing cuddles
just pretending they don’t)

and suddenly there’s space
for noticing things
like how full the house feels
even mid-chaos
even mid-mess
even mid-life

because family isn’t noise
it’s gravity

It’s the way this newly built home
already knows their footsteps
already holds fingerprints
in places paint hasn’t fully dried

walls still learning their laughter
floors memorising arguments
that end in cups of tea
and forgiveness

They didn’t build a house
they built a centre
a place everything else orbits

Sundays
future partners
grandkids not yet named
all already planned for
without being planned

and the wedding
wasn’t a beginning
it was a sentence finally punctuated

A love that survived
raising humans
and decided
it still wanted to say
we choose this

Lyn and Dugal
proof that romance isn’t just the fireworks
it’s foundations
poured slowly
and strong enough
to stand on
for everyone they love

And somehow
between the chaos,
the school forms,
the bras drying on radiators,
the half dead herbs on the windowsill,
there are still moments
so painfully lovely
they catch you completely off guard.

**Listen and Read**

walks onstage
like she’s late to a fistfight
with God,
hair half storm cloud,
half pub carpet static,
holding truths in her teeth
like loose nails.

And she speaks.

Not the polished TED Talk kind of speaking,
not the “here are my vulnerable bits
carefully branded for Instagram” kind.

No.

She speaks like someone
who has cried in supermarket carparks,
laughed at funerals
kissed the wrong people deliberately,
and still somehow
knows that’s just where hope lives.

You can feel the room shift.

Pints pause mid air.
Someone’s boyfriend stops pretending
he “doesn’t really like female comedians”.
A woman in the back nods so hard
you fear for her fu***ng vertebrae.

Because Kyla tells stories
the way old folk songs do.
Blunt.
Honest.
A little bit dangerous.

Like she could expose your childhood wounds
while lighting a cigarette
off the smouldering co**se of your ego.

And yet
there’s softness there too.

A warmth.

The kind you only find
in women who have survived themselves
and still buy fake mustaches and glitter.

She has that rare thing,
that impossible thing,
where depth doesn’t feel heavy.
Where pain arrives
wearing sequins and muddy boots.

And honestly,
if the universe ever does collapse in on itself,
if politicians keep chatting absolute sh*te,
and billionaires keep building rockets
instead of empathy,

I suspect the solution
will be Kyla Cobbler
sitting cross legged at a sticky bar table,
three sweet sherries deep,
pointing at the moon like she fu***ng owns it,
saying:

“Well.
Maybe the problem is
everyone’s forgotten
how to bloody make spells lads.”

So I’m here, ordering her new memoir, Happy, Thank You. More, Please.: How I got grateful, stayed mortified, and learned to trust the universe,” and booking tickets for when shes back from New Zealand. You should do the same

There is a particular kind of magic that happens when you refuse to stay in one lane.

Not because you lack focus. Not because you are scattered. But because your creativity is alive, and alive things move.

I slip from the electric hum of an event, to the quiet, sacred pause of a maternity shoot. From the unscripted poetry of a wedding day, to the stillness of making something just for the sake of it. And every time I shift, something inside me exhales.

Because creativity, for me, is not a straight road. It is a series of rooms. Each one with different light, different energy, different conversations waiting to be had.

If I stay too long in one room, even a beautiful one, the air gets stale.

But when I wander, when I allow myself to be curious and a little bit restless, I come back sharper. Softer. Braver. More awake.

We are often told to niche down, to specialise, to become one thing and do it relentlessly well.

And yes, there is value in mastery.

But there is also deep, nourishing value in diversity. In letting your creativity stretch its legs. In trusting that your voice does not get diluted by variety, it gets richer.

Diversity is not a distraction.

It is oxygen.

So I wonder… should we be narrowing ourselves down, or allowing ourselves to expand? Should we choose one room, or trust ourselves to wander between many or is that too confusing for onlookers , it’s damn impossible to market I tell you that? Any ideas on that last year question VERY welcome.

walks on already a bit off centre, Adidas zipped up like armour, a moustache and glasses that feel deliberately suspicious, like he’s daring you to work him out. Then he drops his height on purpose, folding down into the punchline, making the moment tighter, sharper, harder to ignore. The edge is constant, a quiet oddness that cuts through, but the material stays grounded, clean observations, familiar truths, delivered with just enough bite to keep you slightly on guard while you laugh.

I want to be your favourite place to go
when you’ve had a bad day
or a good one
or no day at all.
