  • Weekly Photo: Hook Norton Brewery

    Hook Norton Brewery. I did a tour of the brewery with an overseas based friend. A great day out and very interesting. The brewery is an interesting mix of old and new.

  • Weald Smokery – Great Lunch Stop

    We found the Weald Smokery, at Flimwell in Sussex, by accident, on a road trip, and enjoyed an excellent smoked fish meal.

  • Magaruque Sailing Boat

    A day out on Magaruque Island in the Bazaruto Archipelago near Vilanculos in Mozambique. This sailboat was moored there making a beautiful picture with the clear seas, blue skies and clouds.

  • Bunny Chow – A Durban Speciality

    Bunny Chow – a speciality of the Durban area of kwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. Have to have a bunny if I go to Durban. But there’s nothing to say i can’t make one at home in the UK. And there are no bunny rabbits involved!

  • A380 Gear Up!

  • Beach Grass on the Beach in the Sunset

    Grasses on the beach near Valras Plage catching the beautiful golden sunset light. When shooting the sunset it is always a good idea to check the effect of the light behind you!

  • Footsteps in the Sand after Sunrise

    Late May in the Lanquedoc-Rousillon area of France can be windy and cold. But the sun shines. The sunsets and sunrises are great, well worth the early start. On this morning I caught a decent sunrise. On my way back to camp I noticed the effect of the golden hour light at a low angle…

  • Boerewors on the Braai (Even in the English Winter)

    It may be winter. It may be in England. The sun came out and we just had to have a boerewors braai. More to the point the boerewors was supplied by our local English butcher.
