I like lines and shapes. Between them they seem to provide order and pattern and promise. They tell me that I can stick between them, or push past them. I can remain with what I know, or venture further, farther into things previously unknown. Sometimes we realise that conforming to […]
We never really do anything for Valentine’s Day. One reason is that it is so close to my Birthday and we have usually celebrated that in some way, and the other is that I am not really a big fan of commercialised days and ways to mark how I feel. […]
I get ready as usual in the clothes that we have agreed I will wear. I see that on the counter, he has set out my play collar and cuffs. It is not unusual to see them because often a hotel stay will include some heavier play and I know […]
This is one of the images that we took for the letter H prompt earlier at the beginning of December. I was going for hourglass but when I saw it, it looked far less hourglass than it had looked, or indeed felt, at the time. I decided to go with […]
As a family we have never done Elf on the Shelf and I only really heard about it the last five years or so, and, like Black Friday, appears to be another of those things which we have adopted from the US. The idea behind it seems to be an […]
One book that I love is ‘The Great Gatsby’. I fell in love with it when I was 17 and I have remained true, dipping into it over the years, watching the various film adaptations, and once, even teaching it. The copy here is the original that I bought back […]
The prompt for Sinful Sunday this week is the letter H. I hummed and hawed (very on prompt) over which H to submit: Handcuffs, hood, headband? Or something more active? Hand job, honour bondage or humiliation. What about a hog -tie? In the end I broke with habit and settled […]
There is something about watching from a window. It feels like time well spent on the observations made. Meaningless in themselves, they require nothing from me in terms of response and yet, each picture evokes a response regardless. What looks like a simple daydream from the outside, is actually the […]
Lower and lower went her head as the lips went below the range of my mouth and chin and seemed to fasten on my throat. Then she paused, and I could hear the churning sound of her tongue as it licked her teeth and lips, and I could feel the […]
“You live by what you thrill to, and there’s the end of it.”― D.H. Lawrence I am happy to have found the thing that I thrill to. I don’t necessarily think that means the end to it for me, or really there would be no blog, but we are […]
“Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.” – Oprah Winfrey I am just about to start a couple of weeks off work and am hoping that passion and energy will be two of the things to come from the break. We are also […]
“There is never a wrong time for a polka dot.” — Marc Jacobs Back during the holidays, HL asked me to take an underwear selfie each day, as he often left for work before I was dressed. It was a long holiday and a lot of images and I hadn’t […]
“Everything you can imagine is real” Pablo Picasso She imagined herself on holiday. Somewhere quiet where nobody knew them. She had thought of that when she bought the dress. I wasn’t fancy of course, that would be too obvious; it was enough to draw attention without being indecent, she felt. […]
“Pink isn’t just a color it’s an Attitude too!” ― Miley Cyrus She paused at the door a moment, waiting for them to look up and notice that she was there. It was one of those moments where the chatter of the voices reduces almost imperceptibly, and then suddenly there is […]
Next week is back to work for me. Having a 6 week holiday is fantastic although it means that I slip very easily into a different life. It has felt like a good fit and although I love my job, I feel a bit reluctant to go back to rushing […]

Despite the fact that I wear a day collar all the time as a symbol of my submission to HL, we use collars and cuffs less these days than in the past and, thinking about it now, this is something that I would like to change. The collar I wear […]
The white blouse can be light and floating, impeccable and austere, sumptuous and all-enveloping, tight and close-fitting. It rises up to frame the face. It sculpts the body by transforming itself into a second skin. Imputed with glamour and poetry, freedom and impetuousness, the prim white shirt turns out to […]
To see in color is a delight for the eye but to see in black and white is a delight for the soul. – Andri Cauldwell I am going to be away this week for work. My life will be lived out in colour as I take in all the […]
Sometimes we are barely there. We aren’t seen, or at least parts of us aren’t seen or are overlooked. At times that can be frustrating but, at others, it can be a good thing. It can mean that we have time to watch, time to breathe, time just to be. […]
