Sunday was adventure day. We packed the BioLite stove, tins of beans, bread, butter, a flask of hot chocolate and some inedible essentials, and walked up to the forest to meet friends. The weather couldn't have been better sunshine; blue skies and frost on the ground. This is

A few black and white photos from my trip to Wales last month. My friend Annie and I headed to an amazing 19th century lodge called Wilde Lodge, tucked away in the hills of Knighton (Pwys). Here's what we got up to… We woke up early to some

I often have canoe fantasies. We are gliding across a lake in wooden canoe. Mountains in the background. A bag of camping supplies and a stove for whipping up a hot meal. The dog we don't own yet, sat at the front wearing a mini life jacket. We&

These are the last of my recent photos from Kew (colour photos here). We circled back to the Palm House on our way out, which coincided with me loading my only roll of black and white film for the day. Yass!! A clear door shot is always a long wait.

Second trip to Kew in just over a month, can't seem to stay away at the moment! This time, T, Eleanor and Kitty joined me and Annie for the day. I took two film cameras and tried to shoot the majority of my photos in colour (as I

Scott prefixed his suggestion of visiting West End Flower Farm with "this place does cake". Needless to say, I had no objections to stopping by. Flowers along with a mini adventure on our bikes were a bonus! We've visited twice now; once just the two of

I shot mostly black and white film at Kew Gardens (see the photos) but I'm glad I packed a colour roll too. The 61 year old Agfa Silette Pronto did a great job and even though the camera collection continues growing, it remains one of my favourites. Palm

I had complete camera indecision on the day Annie and I ventured to Kew Gardens. We decided to shoot the whole day on film, no digital cameras in sight this time. Discovering she had packed two cameras made me feel less extravagant about taking the three I'd shortlisted.

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

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

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

My alarm went off at 6:45am on Saturday morning, ready for a trip to London. Thankfully I checked the trains before walking all the way to the station because they were cancelled due to the snow. I had no other plans so I walked up to the forest with
