What a different summer this has been. Last summer was filled with lots of travel, celebrations, excitement and fun. This summer has been very different.
On the first warm day in June our world was rocked by a person we never spoke too simply for the fact that we are a same s*x married couple. To say I have had waves of frustration and anger would be an understatement. Our summer has been hijacked by the ricochet actions of someone who can only be described as the boil on the ass of humanity. We haven’t been his only targets. It has sucked hard, this is the most authentic description of events I can muster.
In all of this something amazing has occurred, Karen and I have received an abundance of support. This hatred has been so overshadowed by love we are truly in awe and eternally grateful. We are surrounded by so many kind souls. All the messages to see how we are, the endorsements, letters and protectiveness has meant the world to us.
This evening I found myself with some extra time and in reflection of the last little while I have decided the way I want my precious time to change.
•This means more time for the people who love and show up for us
•Lazy mornings with my wife & Basenjis
•Healthy movement that honours my body
•Grown up slumber parties with my favs
•Planning Scotland 2026
•Happiness & Joy being the constant goal
This brilliant photo was taken by my wife last year in Italy, the giggles and joy are exactly the energy I want to bring in to this new chapter.
