“Clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop”

“A walk through a farm” is guaranteed to have UK based readers think of a straw chewing farmer shouting “GET OFF MY LAND”. However, that is of course a fictional stereotype. Most farmers aren’t like the stereotype and most are familiar with the many rights of way that dot the British countryside (and particularly so …

Let it snow (again)

OK, so I take back my suggestion that it wouldn’t snow! Icing sugar at present but it doesn’t seem to be stopping… Taken with my GH3 and 12-35mm lens Update: having finally worked out how to export videos from Lightroom, here is a video of the snowfall complete with authentic noises of shivering in the …
