An Easter Sunday Spin

by julie

posted April 22, 2019

I had intended to get back to Lafcadio Hearn Gardens while we had peak blossom, but life got in the way a bit. When we had a long weekend with an excellent weather forecast though, it seemed like an excellent opportunity to jump on the bike and enjoy some pillion zen with a spin to […]

8 hours later

Other than a very expensive Pinterest machine, I got an iPad with the intention of reducing the friction of editing photos so I’d be more inclined to shoot with the 5d again. Except it took 4 months to actually pick the camera up, and only then after a fairly substantial nudge… but here we are, […]

It’s been… a while. It was only when I realised that June had come around again and this time last year we were on the road in France that I got the urge to take another look at the photos and get back to posting them, even if it’s just for my own amusement to […]

I was out at Bramley Lodge yesterday for a shoot and was entirely smitten by this little creature, apparently 11 weeks old but won’t actually grow much bigger because they are pygmy goats. EEEEH! There are two, but the other one was hiding behind a tree for a bit of shade while I followed this wee […]

bluebell magic

posted May 12, 2014

Some things just keep you coming back year after year, like blossom, or autumn leaves. It’s torture, spotting that tantalising blue shimmer so often from the back of the bike where I can do nothing but take a mental snapshot as we whizz past, daydreaming of the time when I would get to spend as […]
