stories of eves } fatima & eve } part one
in shoreditch, i’m sure she has a spray can hidden somewhere
A few weeks ago I introduced Eve to my friend Fatima Fayez. The two got on like a house on fire, and now they are the best of travel buddies. Although Fatima was great at showing Eve around Kuwait’s finer sites, it is this trip that Eve will remember most dearly. Not only was she invited to be a part of Fatima’s friend’s bucket list of English landmarks, but she was the center of Fatima’s attention, and I know she likes that. Thank you, Fatima, for being so generous and patient with Eve. I know she can be mischievous and even diva-like sometimes.
unlike me, eve has no problem being trendy
and like me, she’s a letter fanatic
she loves any street address with the word ‘lane’ in it. and ‘brick’ is one of her favorite words
{ Allan Bank and Grasmere }
eve’s gone analog. when the big hand’s on three and the little one’s on twelve, what time is it?
according to william wordsworth, allan bank is ‘the loveliest spot that man hath ever found’. according to eve, it’s the loveliest spot a woman has ever seen
at the activity center, eve can not find a smock small enough for her v.v.very petite frame
chocolate cake anyone? i wonder if fatima realizes that eve was taking little licks off the frosting on her cake. she’s sneaky like that
time for some bird-watching. she prefers bird-listening though, but there are no magnifying implements for that
when you sleep at night she’ll play you a tune, and maybe steal your shoe laces. she does that to me all the time
{ Rydal Hall }
in ambleside, she searches for rydal hall
she finds it
eve has always loved staircases. here, she’s in stairway heaven
*whisper*
she speaks softly to daffodils
maybe she should sit
or explore this hut
behind her a waterfall is calling to her. should she jump?
eve contemplates the mystery of tunnels
blue sheep. eve says, ‘baa.’ they say ‘baa’ back
she’s ignored by the herd. she can never fit in, no matter how hard she baa’s
what time is it now, eve?
she’s caught between a rock and a hard place
she finds hanging knit sculptures by dianne standen. she wishes she could knit, and decorate nature with her creations
We’ll let Eve rest now. More to come in the next couple of days. Good night, Fatima. Good night, Eve.
I am looking at these again and they are so lovely :-)
Yes, she did a wonderful job! People tend to take better care of my pet projects than I do myself. It’s so refreshing :) x
They really are so beautiful :-)
