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:

A few days in the Lake District
Last week we left the gloomy and decidedly chilly North York Moors for another national park, the Lake District, and enjoyed a gorgeous spell of weather in a stunningly beautiful landscape. I do struggle with trying to capture natural land forms – they never match the real thing, a poor substitute and so I’m always

Time on the Isle of Wight
A few days on the island with the family is always a tonic – walks, eating out, catching up and Bella’s tenth birthday. Here’s some photographs created while I was there. The house boats in Bembridge are always fun to walk past, there’s usually work being done and it’s now looking quite trendy with several

Walk on Sandsend beach
Wasn’t that interested in watching the Liverpool v Chelsea FA Cup Final (or Eurovision Song Contest) so headed off to Sandsend Beach. It’s a shame that I need to drive 45 minutes to get to the seaside. I struggle with polluting the air with diesel fumes just to get some photos (and sea air) so
