Rosendals Trädgård is one of my favourite places in Stockholm. It is a biodynamic garden with several glasshouses containing a fantastic cafe, seating and plants for sale. We first visited three years ago for lunch after getting engaged in the Winter. Things looked quite different this time around… The plant

This pocket of greenery is our back garden for a little while. Although it looks miles from anywhere, there are actually several apartment buildings along the street. We are living in a city but the whole area feels quite wild thanks to the maze of trees and trails surrounding us.

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
Film Photography
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.

You know it's going to be an exciting day when weatherproof suits and goggles are involved. We had booked a RIB tour to Trollfjorden, which included a sea eagle safari. I'd never been on a RIB boat or seen a sea eagle, so I was pretty

Sunsets in the Lofoten Islands were out of this world and we were lucky to experience colourful skies most evenings during our stay in Svolvær. I love how fleeting these small patches of light were. Sometimes they were gone within twenty minutes so we only saw them if we were

Our journey to the Lofoten Islands was one of the highlights from our trip to Norway. We flew from Oslo to Bodø, then took a bus from the airport to the centre and walked to the Hurtigruten ferry terminal. This was our ride to Svolvær! MS Richard With. With our

This video marks the end of our time in Oslo. I'm sad to be leaving but also excited to begin the next part of our Norwegian adventure. I am going to miss buying breakfast buns from the bakery on the corner and seeing tram spot cat. I'

Gressholmen was the second island we visited on our recent island hop around Oslo fjord. The Northern area is a nature reserve and we later discovered this island was home to an airport from 1926 to 1938. There are some old photos here if you are interested. The cafe is
Norway
Island hopping in Oslo Fjord is a great way to spend a day. We boarded a small ferry at Aker brygge (a stone's throw from Oslo City Hall) and visited three of the larger islands — Hovedøya, Gressholmen and Lindøya. A decision fuelled by the fact that it was

I've put together a few snippets from our first week in Oslo. We've done so much since we arrived, landing at the airport feels like a long time ago already! Lots of snow has fallen but everything keeps ticking over. The trains are running, people are
