Francine Sharrocks as a child sitting at the edge of the sea

I think I live my life to tell stories.

From childhood stories and imaginary worlds to motherhood and everything in between, I’ve realised I’ve spent my whole life collecting moments worth retelling.

FULL STORY

Welcome to Wonderment

A gentle publication about life and being human.

Stories, memories and observations about the things we notice, the places we go, the people we become and the ordinary moments that turn out not to be so ordinary after all.

Stories about the natural world — trees, weather, animals, seasons and the moments outside that make us stop and notice.

EXPLORE

THINGS

Stories about the objects we keep, use, lose and love — and the memories, people and meaning they somehow come to hold.

Thoughts from the quieter moments — questions, observations and ideas that tend to arrive when there is finally enough space to hear them.

FROM THE HAMMOCK

Personal essays, observations and thoughts.
