Like this.’ His hands fluttered downwards in the air drawing the picture of a bomb falling. ‘I ran for him, but, no’. For a moment neither of us could speak. Makeshift homes for refugees in Calais. A Sudanese man tends to his friend’s injured eye. Barber’s shop…. The Sudanese camp know as the ‘Small Jungle’. At night we head out and wal...

He learned quickly that it was far safer not to, but at first he would put out his hand to make sure that I too could leap across the bogs and water-filled ditches, race up the sand dunes or across the busy highway that we had to navigate in the blackness to avoid police detection and reach the lorry parks by night.

Carnival |
https://mousephoto.wordpress.com/2014/09/01/carnival
Mary Turner's photo blog. Genesis Mas Band get ready for Carnival. My hopes of simply taking lovely sunny photographs of beautiful people twerking with embarrassed looking policemen in the glorious British weather were dashed by the actual British weather at approximately 9:04am.

Going to England |
https://mousephoto.wordpress.com/2014/11/11/going-to-england
Mary Turner's photo blog. Yesterday a small group of migrants that I have come to know in Calais built themselves wings. They had no feathers, wax or string, but in the darkness and the labyrinths of squats and jungles in Calais, they built themselves wings with tenacity, courage and wit. An Ethiopian man who has made his home in a cupboard. Until today, when a small group of us were sat sheltering from the rain, and a call came in, from an unknown number beginning 44.
