Reading Time: 2 minutesHaving a new camera, and a big event to play at is perhaps both good and bad. Kirkstall Festival with its very varied mix of sights was a great chance to play, with the Tamron lens, to get in close to the falconry (and the …
Reading Time: 4 minutesFor this month’s London extravaganxa I decided to go out a bit further afield and take a trek out to Greenwich and the Docklands. A long time ago I went on a scout trip staying on the Lord Amory and remember a night walk including …

Reading Time: 2 minutesWe’ve just spent 10 days living in a field. Yes, it’s that time of year again. This year’s Northern Green Gathering has been at the lovely Lime Tree Farm, which I have posted about before. More chilled than the environs of Pontefract last year, but …
