What comes to mind when you think about Venice? I have had a number of memorable visits to Venice. The first was as a teenager as part of a trip across Italy by train, with my brother. We rented a small room at the top of a house in Venice and my main memory was the...

I was just wondering what I could possibly write about today, when I caught sight of an article in the newspaper. – (remember those?) I take in most of my news via websites so this was a chance encounter when helping my other half find an acceptable item on...

I find that there’s a theme in my recent seascape/water pictures. It’s reflection. That’s an interesting word isn’t it. Right now we might be reflecting on a lot of things, Covid-19, politics, opening up the economy, opening or not opening...

It’s so hot today I’m wishing myself elsewhere. In fact Iceland is on my mind, not surprising as I have been there at exactly this time of year. The lupin fields are incredible and I can’t help wondering if that’s how it looks at the moment. I...
