In normal years I like to travel, especially to take pictures. In 2020 the only place I have been (apart from the Isle of Wight) is Venice. I was there in January and I am absolutely, utterly, desperately longing to go back. One of my most pleasing images from the...

I don’t know about you but I am astonished to find that autumn is here! How quickly the months have passed even if, at the time they seemed to drag. I had become used to a certain routine of walking the Surrey Hills three times a week to keep fit and enjoy the...

In a normal year I would be spending this weekend at the Contemporary Art Fair at Sandown Park. In Covid times it is of course cancelled, and therefore on-line only. As a substitute for this I will be making a little video of the images from my trip to Venice which...

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...

Passing the time productively I don’t know about you but I’m finding my lockdown time has been filled with chores – some of which I used to avoid at all costs! So as I have had time to look in detail at all my photography stock, scarves, prints,...

As a child I was often taken to France on holiday, and apart from the Brittany seaside and Mont St Michel, the main thing I recall is the tree lined roads that went on and on forever, straight as a die, so unlike our British rolling roads, and lanes. Imagine the...
