Seasonal Rituals

by Kate Stalker

'Learn to see the mundane anew, seeing the beauty in small moments that may usually pass you by. Something that you previously found dull can be transformed into an anticipated event if you slow it down. Life can be hectic at times, so it’s important to hit pause and make the most out of your personal rituals, giving you the chance to breathe and reflect. Don’t feel like you need to make time to slow down every single moment of your life; choose those rituals that you get the most pleasure out of and learn to savour them.'

The nights have drawn in and the sun seems to be shying away – winter solstice is upon us.

Seasonal Gifting

by Kate Stalker

'To complement an Oubas jumper, I would give one of my favourite books for the recipient to read snuggled up indoors by the fire, a pack of their favourite herbal tea and a card containing the promise of a long walk together in the hills. Combined, this becomes more a gift of a particular ambiance or feeling. I would hope that the receiver of these gifts would begin to associate their new jumper with the smell of woodsmoke and the feeling of the wind blowing in their hair.'

Shoot AW 19

by Jayde Riley

Living in a digital age we are often unconsciously distracted by the blue light we carry with us in our pockets. Constantly connected no matter where we are, ultimately available and on-call to the world.

Cumbria

by Kate Wilson

Some of my favourite places to visit are High Dam Tarn in Finsthwaite (above) walking in either the quiet Dunnerdale or Kentmere valleys, and swimming in Coniston Water, on the eastern shore on a summer evening, so you catch the last of the evening light.
