Pen Y Fan in the snow
Friday 16 January 2015
With a little snow this week at our house in Dursley, I was keen to head to the hills and see how much there was up high - and since I wanted to go high, I thought we may as well go all the way to the highest point of the Brecon Beacons, Pen Y Fan.

Dancing Fog at Cam Peak & Twinberrow Woods

FaceOmeter 'Why Wait for Failure'
Sunday 2 November 2014
I don't know quite how to describe FaceOmeter. He's a singer/songwriter/story teller I've had the pleasure of listening to for the best part of a decade, discovered quite by chance as he was playing at the same gig as a friend's band.

Strolling in Shropshire
Friday 29 August 2014
Shropshire is not somewhere I've ever visited before. I've passed through on the way to Wales, but never stopped, although it always looked tempting.
Castle Coombe
Sunday 24 August 2014
Castle Coombe, on the southern edge of the Cotswolds, has the reputation of being one of the prettiest villages in England

Friday 8 August 2014
Balloons and big crowds at the fiesta

I've been fortunate enough to travel to many amazing places, but Iceland was so staggeringly beautiful and varied it was an exceedingly special trip

Plenty of smiles at Thornbury Carnival, despite the damp start!

We set off from our house in Dursley to walk over to North Nibley, including the Tyndale monument
