The 26th Autumn Leaf

A photographic journal of my 26th year

Lucy Rip

“You're only given a little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it.” These words by Robin Williams are the inspiration for this blog. Since I found that quote I have been on a quest to find the ridiculous madness in life - the kind that makes you laugh long and hard at its absurdity. I've decided to share my gems of discovery here. A candle loses nothing by lighting other candles and I suspect madness works in much the same way.

A bit about me... I'm a twenty something, living in South Africa. In my spare time I embark on ambitious house decorating projects, bake cookies with my Russel Hobbs cookie maker and hack my way around the occasional golf course. On a more serious note - I write for a digimag called illumin8. Visit www.illumin8.co.za for details or email "subscribe" to illumin8ezine@gmail.com. Its FREE!

Stars for Smiles is the charity drive HCC (my new employer) holds every year for underprivileged kids. We stick these stars on the curtains, with the names and ages of the children on, and members of the congregation then take a star and buy a gift for that child. I've spent a couple of days this month assisting with this - it's been great.

Col's cousin, Kerry, painted this for us as a wedding present. I finally got around to having it framed and we've based the colour scheme of our spare room on it.
