Places
Stora Delsjön was the short walk that accidentally turned into a twelve mile hike. We spent the morning walking around Gothenburg in search of a decent hot chocolate and some lunch but fancied a change of scene in the afternoon. Heading to this lake was a spontaneous decision and one
Places
We last visited Gothenburg all the way back in 2015, but only for one day. So it was high up on the list when we headed back to Sweden this time around. I'm going to write posts for the bigger adventures but wanted to share a few snippets
Film Photography
I recently dusted and sorted the camera collection and found an Agfa Silette Pronto (type 4, 1958). The most used cameras had shuffled their way to the front of the shelf and I'd forgotten all about this one. I'm fairly sure it belonged to my Grandad.
Places
Every year, I photograph the same crocus patch in our village. Spindly purple buds wriggle up through the soil and survive footsteps of curious dogs and children… but they had snow to contend with this time around. I thought that would lay them to rest but they survived and opened
Garden
Petal skeletons, not actual skeletons. I've been watching too many crime series on Netflix lately so everything has taken on a sinister twist. I finally got around to doing a few bits in the garden and spotted these papery hydrangea heads tucked in a dark corner. Hydrangeas are
Life
I spent last weekend in Bratoft (Skegness) for the Creative Countryside Winter gathering. We hunkered down in a fancy pants Georgian house, made books and zines, experimented with free writing, spent time outdoors and ate plenty of comfort food. I tend to shy away from photographing people but I came
Hiking
It's no secret I love exploring and spending time outdoors. When I'm not, I spent a fair amount of time reading and daydreaming about it so I've put together a list of adventure related books, films and short stories that inspired me during 2018.
Hiking
I had two birthday wishes this year. One was to do absolutely nothing and recharge (films, personal projects, nice food etc) and the other was eating breakfast in the forest. On the Sunday morning, we stuffed supplies and a stove into our rucksacks, laced our boots and headed for the
Hiking
The run up to Christmas left very little time for outdoor aventures and I started to feel like I was developing cabin fever. Time to switch off, stretch my legs and breathe plenty of fresh air always pushes a reset button in my head. Without it, I end up feeling
Life
I'm starting to realise that part of being an adult is mentioning how quickly the year has gone, every year. But honestly, where has the time gone!? I really enjoyed making travel videos over the last twelve months so I've put together a roundup of 2018.
Norway
A few snippets from Svolvær. As with my other my other snippets, they are a collection of photos that don't really belong in a particular post but hold nice memories. I've been sitting on these for a while because I didn't finish sorting through
Norway
We rented an apartment in Oslo for three weeks back in March. It's a fantastic city! A mix of old and new with great connections to forests and lakes by public transport… the best of both worlds. These are a few snippets of the time we spent there.
