I always had so many words for you and yet shared with you so few: you were tired so quickly, so often asleep and so many times just wanting to sit with a silence that we were both happy to share: I loved those quiet hours by your side. And I always had so many words to write about you and yet now – ink-stained but fountainless – I know not where they all reside, only that they are most likely hiding, not lost. I once found words in a tissue you held onto in your sleep; found them again in the fold of your pillow; and had ready an essay of love, built around the spoon and straw with which we fed you, as your life crept into its final dusk hours. I was left with so little to record new moments of the present towards the end, and yet you so often resisted revisiting the past. You seemed content with less, as less became all that we had left. And yet that less was so intensely felt by us all. You shared those last new moments with each of us by your side. Our pain wasn’t your pain at the end; your comfort was our only comfort. Your smile and that twinkle in your eye fluttered in those final hours and your hand was in each of ours, as we loved and stroked you gently into sleep. We’ll miss you so much.

Mum died two weeks ago, surrounded by love, and time has stood more than a little still since. I have shared so many pictures and words about her here in the past. So many of you always left such kind comments. Moving on means marking her passing here, with thanks to those who already knew and to those who have been so kind and supportive these last six or so months as we so closely kept hold of her. ❤️

Day 8 of shooting @beththefreerangechef’s #RetreatKitchen cookbook. So many lovely recipes… just a few left to go and will really miss these dishes, back-to-back days of this friendship and this talented soul in the kitchen whilst I 📸 in the front window. Can’t wait to see this book out next year. @quartobooksuk

One of the most impressive places I visited last year with my camera was right on my doorstep: @longssteepleashton. A really impressive team, with great knowledge and a passion for what they do. A ‘pub’ pub that just happens to serve absolutely cracking food too.

My next phone photography workshop is on Saturday 7th February. I share all I know about making food — not to mention people and other pretty things — look as good as you possibly can during five hours of Zoom workshop (half-hour break in the middle). There is a recording available for two weeks after the workshop to all who attend or for those unable to join me on the day. Link to book via my Story, above. #MattInwoodMasterclass

Lovely evening at @lidobristol last night with @meerasodha bringing her wonderfully wholesome dinner dishes to a lovely supperclub event and a very happy Bristol crowd. @pashpeters managing things with his usual cool aplomb! 🩵

‘I set the mattress into the middle of the lounge floor with little hope of procuring sleep or comfort from it. Light pours in from the bright window of the care home corridor – the kitchen blind has only ever partially subdued its glare. From the other room, I can hear the pump that pushes air to gently undulate that mattress beneath Mum. I miss the silence that used to hold me so softly in that room. I wait for her first call, certain that it will come before sleep, and sure enough it is there, an hour or so later.’ ‘Mattress’, new writing over at A Thousand Fragments (link to read in story, above).

Every time that I leave, I say ‘goodbye’ to Mum and I’m not sure if she mirrors that word back to me with the same apprehension that I speak it. But for months now, I try to make sure that the final words she hears from me are ‘I love you’. We never used to say that so clearly, so honestly, to one another — more often than not it would be ‘lots of love’ or a shortened ‘love you’ — but now I ensure that she knows what is felt by who and for whom. Tonight it is whispered so that my voice becomes almost as small as hers and for the first time that I can recall, she takes her hands from between mine and places them outside of her son’s and it feels like one of the most motherly acts of tenderness that she’s ever shown me, and I try to resist reading anything more into this simple gentle act, and she falls asleep. Earlier, when good, restorative sleep arrived for her at last, I took the chance to slip outside and find some fresh air for the first time in three days. After walking for ten minutes, an elderly woman flagged me down from across the road. She told me that she couldn’t remember where she lived and had been walking for a very long time. She knew of no family or friends and of no landmarks close to her home. We found one kind stranger to help and then another and between us and with her blessing we found and accessed her phone and then discovered a contact and then an address and then returned her home, still holding the jar of instant coffee and the very cold bag of chips for which she had originally left her flat. We printed an address and placed it into her top pocket, and I said goodbye to her an hour after first crossing the road to see what she needed. (Continued in comments…)
