Trip to London
Went down to the capital for some vet work but had a little time before that to wander from Kings Cross down to Victoria. Here’s a selection:
Prom Call
A friend asked if I could take some photos of her daughter at her pre prom gathering. Took me back to when my two were sixteen and got all dressed up, with their partner for the evening and headed off to the Feathers in Helmsley to celebrate the end of secondary school. It was a
