There’s a range of things that happened (and were heavily photographed) in the summer that I failed to cover here. This is all down to to the car crash that is brexit and everything that’s followed, including vast amounts of protesting, campaigning and social media. However, as a potential end to the good times is …

Devon Daze
I should probably point out in advance that if you are expecting more outraged political discourse, this post isn’t it. This post harks back to the time when all I used to write about was travel, life in general and photography. I digress…. This year we wanted to head to somewhere new on holiday. Money …
The Pasty Strikes Back
Pentewan I’ve not been posting for a while, mostly because I’ve been on holiday and away on and off the last few weeks. We headed back to Cornwall for a week away in April and as ever it was welcome. This time we stayed in the lovely village of Pentewan, nr to St Austell and …
Chinatown at New Year
First of all, a small confession. I didn’t actually go to the amazing parade to Trafalgar Square for Chinese New Year. I have always loved visiting Chinatown in London’s west end, ever since I moved to London in 2000. One of my favourite memories is visiting Chinatown with my other half in 2004(ish) to watch …
Balmy New Year
When I first thought of this post I wanted to call it barmy new year, because the weather really has been crazy this winter. For parts of it I’ve felt like I had acquired my own pet cloud that was following me around the country. Every day was grey and warm. At first that seems …
Happy New Year: the Best of 2015
Hello all, I’ve taken a few days away with my family over the holidays, so I didn’t get to write the last post I intended for December on lenses for the Sony A7 series. There are a ton of other posts I intended to write but which have fallen by the wayside this year – …
Trains, Kites and Boats
I begin my post with the happiness of having had both a recent holiday and a satisfying piece of work on my house to get at least one of the chaotic rooms in order (or at least, having covered over the luminous peach, my eyes no longer bleed on entering the room). It’s amazing how …
2 days, 2 cameras and a Motor Pageant
Once again, it was time for the Enfield Pageant of Motoring a couple of weeks ago and despite having jumped ship to Hertfordshire, I did want to go as I’ve always enjoyed it. My other half told me this would be an adventure that my son and I would share together 😉 so, after much …
Is Everyone stupid or selfish, yaah?
Another election has passed in the UK. All over social media hands have been wrung left and centre as people seem to think people who voted were stupid, misled, wrong and selfish. I couldn’t disagree more. I’m very happy with this election, because: more people voted than 5 years ago. It was toxic and corrosive to …
SkyGarden
SkyGarden is the new “public” space at the top of 20 Fenchurch Street, a new skyscraper in the City of London. People may know the building better as the “walkie talkie” or “walkie scorchie” (in light of its ability to melt cars and scorch the streets). //embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js 20 Fenchurch Street was designed by architect Rafael …
