Reading Time: 3 minutesRecently we have had a bit of a resurgence in playing the recorder in these parts, having received a Treble for Christmas. For a bit of a day out we decided to take a trip over to Saltaire – not far up the road (or …
Reading Time: 2 minutesSo on the eve of the new year, we have been treated with a little bit of proper winter. Doubtless we’ll end up having a pretty shit spring and I will eat those words, but actually having some snow and the chance to have a …
Reading Time: 2 minutesA quick visit to Chatsworth House, for family business, I grabed the chance for a few quick photos of the gardens, still looking quite green for this late in the year. And a few in the greenhouse. This year has been characterised a little by …

Reading Time: 2 minutesI took these shots on a quick trip to Manchster with work to speak at a conference. Manchester is somewhere I would like to explore in more detail. I like the Juxtaposition of the modern and the old Industrial, something that Leeds has lost, at …
