I'm Leanda, mum to Leo, married to George and recently returned to the UK after spending five years in Greece. I initially came to Flickr because of my interest in photography, but I realise now it is a great showcase for all creative forms and I have recently rekindled my interest in knitting and crochet! This is my true love. Flickr is my 'sketchbook'... a playground to constantly test out new ideas, formats and treatments... until I find something I like. I really do welcome all your comments!

..the woman with the most beautiful name is the divine guide to beauty & laughter, taking me on detours where she lets me see what she sees, I would trust her my hand if I were blind. This maker of beauty; be it monocrome timeless or colourfully smiling; she opens up the world. Leanda; to me, it sounds like smiling & breathing as 'Le' is 'smile', - & 'andas' is 'to breathe'.. So glad we drifted into eachother, dear friend! Never let go of my hand.
