I think I have mentioned that I was in Venice in January 2020. Oh my goodness, I am absolutely longing to go back – it seems such a very long time ago! One of the brilliant things I’ve been doing in lockdown is to learn a new skill in photography, so I...

My love of travel has been a real test in the conditions of lockdown. I have a number of things planned in the remainder of the year, so am hoping that some of the uncertainties will be resolved as we move through the planned timetable for opening up. Clearly we have...

I haven’t been very diligent at keeping my website up to date but in lockdown there’s no excuse so I have had to look critically at it, and Lo and Behold, some of my loveliest pictures are not on there. I somehow imagined they got there automatically...

Today I’m thinking not about Bournemouth beach but about herds of horses! There’s something really magic about the sight and sound of a herd of horses galloping free and unfettered. I have a number of images of horse herds from a variety of trips over the...
