A Disused Aerodrome

Tamsin chose this space:

"Decked with a flying hat and a bright red duvet jacket, Sarah & I set off to find the disused aerodrome I had seen on the map. I had not been there before. I hoped for a huge open, concrete, desolate space. But I was prepared if it wasn't. In fact, I didn't expect it to be what I imagined - and it wasn't.

Where the aerdrome was, there were fields, warehouses, tractors and haystacks. But there was a bit of aerdrome left, so all was not lost. The sun shone through a morning mist and the flat land reminded me of my childhood in Lincolnshire.

While moving I found myself thinking about all the pilots that took off and landed here. And the ones that took off and never came back."

Sarah:

"I didn't want to leave the car. I felt vulnerable, uncomfortable, in this wide open, unknown landscape. The car was my anchor as I filmed Tamsin wandering about in the mist. Then the sun began to emerge and Tamsin looked amazing weaving in and out of its rays.

This was a valuable lesson, demonstrating that going with the moment, without preconception throws up unexpected and previousley inconcievable opportunities."
