This is the image I have chosen for my Christmas Project. I have asked for a little help from my friends as to which Christmas Carol Line I can use ... I will add this later. (added at 9.30pm)

BOOK COVER
I have ordered some books from Amazon.co.uk today as part of my research for the Book Cover Assignment. I'm interested in finding out more about the American Civil Rights Movement, and Penguin have a few Modern Classics about this subject. I also spoke to Eileen today; she did quite a lot of research on this subject for one of her assignments last year, so she is going to bring me some information on Monday which will be great.
I have read books on Martin Luther King and Malcolm X and know a little about of the struggles and hostilities that occured during the Civil Unrest, but my knowledge is basic. I want to have a better understanding of the conflict that people faced to gain equality and freedom to live a decent life. It is a subject that touches me and one that I feel still has great importance today.
A Sign of Activity
I walked to the Allotment today as I hadn't taken any photographs since before Christmas. I was surprised to see so many changes, the soil has been turned, tools and implements had been moved, objects in different places... this is why I have chosen todays image. The gloves, for me, told the story. It felt surreal; the gloves seemingly having appeared from nowhere.
There were no humans present at the Allotment, but as I walked around the space, I was imagining a hive of activity taking place. Intuitively this image spoke to me ... I too feel that I am having a rush of energy and actively engaging with my work and with life itself. The New Year has brought with it a welcome change.
