Enfield

by

I’ve been meaning to write this since early September and I have a bunch of other stuff to get through that’s queued behind it. The trouble is, this is a piece about the area I just moved from and there’s just so much to cram in. I can remember now how we discovered Enfield. Some …

Year of the Bus

by

I was mystified to discover 2014 is the year of the (London) bus. I wasn’t actually sure why this was the “Year of the Bus”, but a host of TFL and bus company websites informed me that 2014 has been chosen as “Year of the Bus” because there are several important bus anniversaries this year: …

Motor Pageant

by

This last weekend was a bank holiday weekend with (in theory) lots of opportunities to do “stuff”, but in practice some rain and general exhaustion conspired to mean we only got to spend one day out, a trip to this years Enfield Pageant of Motoring, a classic motor show. We went on the Sunday, which …

Reach for the skies

by

A week or two ago I ventured to the RAF Museum in Colindale, North London, with my son (nearly 3). At the time he was dead against the idea of going to a “zeum” (museum), so I explained we were going to see planes at the “airport”. He was quite excited about this, so we …

Nikon D800E and the power of a billion megapixels

by

It may have escaped some peoples attention, but I’m turning into a bit of a fuddy duddy. My friends still think of me as a techno geek, but I don’t think I’m in that bracket these days – my son can activate functions on our TV I didn’t even know existed (and so it begins…). …

The Heritage Coast

by

This is actually a bit of a fraud, since I didn’t really visit the whole of the Glamorgan Heritage Coast, rather just the beaches at Southerndown and Ogmore when visiting around Christmas time. It’s a stunning location, which I know well from growing up nearby, but also from last years Christmas visit with my GH3. …

Birthrights Dignity Forum

by

This week, my employer and manager (thanks Joe) gave me a day off to do some charity volunteering for the UK Charity, Birthrights. The story starts earlier in the year, when, after covering the Birthrights launch, the trustees asked me to cover this event, held at the Royal College of Physicians in London. Of course, …

Dorset with D800E, D600 and E-P5

by

I was lucky enough to spend last week in sunny (at least last week) Dorset, in Studland on the Isle (though not an Island, “just” a penisula) of Purbeck. It’s a very beautiful location, particularly in great weather. I’ve always enjoyed visiting, partly because of family holidays in the area but also because of a …
