Garden
We arrived home from Sweden to a beast of a garden! I'd forgotten how quickly things grow at this time of year but on the plus side, there are plenty of flowers and happy bees. This calendula survived the Winter and continues to flower. I transferred our hydrangea

This video marks the end of our time in Sweden sob. We booked some time off work for the last week and explored Dalarna, an area filled with deep forests and lakes. This part of our trip was very last minute so we didn't get a chance to
This was our last week in Stockholm before moving on to another part of Sweden. We thought the it had been pretty chilled out but looking back on all the video clips, it was quite eventful afterall. We visited an open air museum called Skansen where we saw wooden houses,

Minna is a barnacle gosling small enough to sit in the palm of your hand. She was waddling along behind her parents and two siblings, who were all industriously nibbling at the soil. Out of nowhere, a magpie swooped down and flew away with her in its claws. The parents
Our second week in Sweden has been an eventful one. We've discovered some great spots to satisfying our cravings for green, open space. Fewer buns have passed our lips — a failure for our happiness, a win for our waistlines. We took a boat to Stockholm's closest

Our garden has reached the point where I don't need to fill gaps with annuals. Everything we planted four years ago has finally filled out and there is very little empty space. I am content with the space we have but also dreaming of the day we have
Edinburgh is beautiful place to be at this time of year. I'm visiting for work and our timing is perfect because the city centre is full of blossom. These photos were taken a stone's throw from our hotel… Me and a teammate spent a while photographing
We set ourselves a photographic challenge in Norway — take one black and white photo each day on a disposable film camera. Digital photography provides the freedom to shoot as many photos as you like so we liked the idea of trying to capture a whole day in a single photo.
We went away at the tail end of Winter and arrived home at the start of Spring. I was looking forward to seeing our garden full of life again but when we stepped through the gate, it looked just as it did when we left. Bare, soggy and colourless. I
