In 2025, my first full year back living in Cornwall, I had the privilege of supporting the Friends of Churchtown Farm with my photography and drone work.

Churchtown Farm, near Saltash, is a vast and beautiful stretch of countryside — a place where rolling fields, quiet paths, and wildlife coexist alongside the characterful main railway line that runs directly through the landscape. It’s a truly special setting, and one that means a great deal to the local community.

Working alongside dedicated volunteers like Bob and the wider Friends of Churchtown Farm group, I’ve used my camera — including sub-249g drone imagery — to help document, celebrate, and share the beauty of this remarkable space.

Returning to Cornwall has been a meaningful chapter for me, and being able to contribute creatively to a place so close to home makes the work even more rewarding.

I’m a proudly single, neurodiverse creative, now back living in Cornwall and focused on building a healthy, steady, and purposeful life.

Over the past year, I’ve been on a determined journey to become well again — and for the first time, I’m receiving the right support to truly make that happen. That support comes from many places: my family, my friends, the incredible teams within the National Health Service, and organisations like Pentreath Ltd here in Cornwall.

To everyone supporting me — you know who you are, and the important role you’re playing in helping me move forward. I’m deeply grateful.

Photography, drone work, and contributing to my local community are part of that healing process. Creating, documenting, and sharing beauty — especially in the Cornish landscape — gives me focus, purpose, and momentum.

This is a chapter about growth, resilience, and building something meaningful.

In 2024, my life changed in ways I could never have imagined. On the same day my marriage came to an end, my father also passed away. It was a moment of profound loss and shock — one that reshaped everything.

After more than 12 years together, that separation became the last time I would ever see my former partner. There were no explanations, and I’ve had to learn to find closure within myself.

I live with severe mental illness, and those events understandably intensified my struggles. But I want to say something clearly: mental illness is real. It is not weakness, and it is not something to hide.

I’m not afraid to speak about it. I’m not ashamed of it.

With the right support — from family, friends, professionals, and organisations like the National Health Service and Pentreath Ltd — recovery is possible. Progress is possible.

If you are struggling, please know this: support is out there. You are not alone. And whatever you’re facing, don’t give up.
