A cherry log is what remains of the cherrywood tree that stood outside the house I grew up in — a salvaged gift and a piece of home.

longing (def): earnest desire; continual wish

The cherry log is a newsletter that explores culture, nature and longing. Thoughtful, researched and subjective essays. Reflections on books, visual arts, exhibitions, or whatever I feel like writing about.

I live in Edinburgh and regularly spend time with my family in West Cumbria. I love to write about the relationships between memory, place, and nature. I’m particularly inspired by folklore, myth, and art.
