The notebook

Notes for a slower afternoon.

Start somewhere familiar

Pick a bridge or a square as a starting point. Walk without headphones for ten minutes and notice the sound of the place before reaching for a map.

Keep the plan small

One neighbourhood, one good stop, one unplanned turn. Leave enough time to sit somewhere rather than moving between a list of destinations.

Bring less home

A few sentences and one photograph are often enough to remember a day. Keep the details that made you pause.
