I regularly start my day on my sunny back steps, holding a cup of tea and playing the '5-4-3-2-1' game with my children. This involves spotting five things we can see, four we can hear, three we can feel, two we can smell and one we can taste. I created this piece to capture the unexpected delights and calmness that is experienced when bringing our mind to 'where our feet are'.
