Welcome To The Tent

Hi, I'm Rachel.

I am a shoe-lover, a baby-raiser and a photo-taker, an ordinary person finding joy in the small things and offering little else but a place to flee the merciless pecking of chickens (children, husband, life). Sit down. Let me make you a cuppa. This tent is yours, too.

This house goes on the market next week, another big milestone in what has been a long and difficult process. About a month back, I visited my GP because I couldn’t seem to stay on top of what felt like enormous emotions, even for me. He labelled me with adjustment disorder and sent me home with three tissues and a new mental health plan. A week later, as I was on my way to a photo shoot, I passed by a house covered in Halloween decorations and nearly crashed my car, such was my state of shock. What month was it? Where had I been all this time? WHAT IS GOING ON? I had braced myself for a rough year, but I didn’t quite comprehend the time warp that would occur while I waded through the haze of separation. Then when the old familiar flush of euphoria hit me when I saw the Christmas aisles start to fill last week, I could have cried with relief that something so silly and ridiculous could still make me so happy - that I wasn’t fundamentally altered, that I didn’t have the sense that a part of me was permanently now faulty. These last three months of the year, they just bring me such a huge degree of joy that I feel the need to return to my GP, give him a hug and tell him there’s no need to worry - that I think my adjustment disorder is gone. Because did he know that there’s a carving pumpkin by my front door and also: CHRISTMAS IS COMING. Happy Wednesday, friends. Pumpkins for all 🎃
