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

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.

After a walk around Henningsvær (there are some photos in part 1), we headed to the waters edge in search of something I had wanted to see for a while. Did you guess what it was? We were looking for a football stadium called Henningsvær Idrettslag Stadion. I have no

In absense of proper Winter weather here in the UK, I'm doing a throwback to Arctic Norway in March. Henninsvær is a jaw-droppingly beautiful fishing village tucked in the Lofoten archipelago. I discovered residents travelling to the main island (Austvågøya) relied on a ferry until 1983 when the

Most of our time in Dalarna was spent in the wilderness but after five days of back to back adventuring, our bodies were feeling a bit ruined. We decided to take it easy and mooch around a small town called Falun for a few hours… and eat cake. We stumbled

Skansen is one of the few parts of our Sweden trip I haven't written about yet. Founded in 1891, it's an open air museum documenting Swedish life through the ages. But Skansen is not your typical museum, it's like going back in time. We

We spent a couple of days in Hay, a small town at the tip of the Brecon Beacons National Park. After a long car journey, we checked in to our room and set off in search of hot chocolate. I don't usually feel the cold all that much

It's the end of October and for the first time this year, we are both going to be at home for more than 4 weeks at a time. Like 2017, 2018 has been another year of travel — some together, some solo. But what an amazing year it has
Film Photography
I've shared a few photos from Sweden but these are a little different because they were captured on film. We photographed Norway on film earlier in the year and it went well so I packed my trusty film camera for Sweden. These photos were taken in Stockholm and

Château du Rouët is one of the nicest places I've ever visited for a wedding – I'll still be gushing about this place in years to come. I shared a few photos from inside Le Grande Maison but I took so many of the grounds, they need

A boat trip to Fjäderholmarna was one of the more touristy activities from our Stockholm trip. It's a small archipelago island fifteen minutes away from the city centre by boat. Since neither of us could pronounce "Fjäderholmarna" (our attempts were hilarious), we handed a leaflet to
