Reading Time: 2 minutesThis is a beautiful winter warmer, spicy, creamy and smooth. It’s also perfect not to waste the scrapings from making your pumpkin man. Obviously the amount of flesh you get depends on how thinly you scrape the inside of the lantern, but as in all my recipes the amounts are open to alteration. If your pumpkin is about a foot in diameter you should be OK.
Reading Time: 2 minutesWe stopped off for a quick wander round Kelham Island on the way back from Derbyshire. This is somewhere I have wanted to have a look round for some time, and certainly want to go back and spend a bit more time in. I am …
Reading Time: < 1 minuteJust a quick addition to the post from our weekend in Tideswell. While there I did a few pencil sketches inspired by the scenery. This is something I am only just starting to play about with, but here they are.

Reading Time: 3 minutesIt’s rarer at the moment that I have been able to get out to intereting places and have some time to actually focus on photography recently, but I recently got the chance on a flying visit (for family affairs) to Kippford in Kirkcudbrightshire. This is …
Reading Time: 3 minutesKind of in lieu of any real holiday, what with the impact of the cost of living making us totally boody skint again, we’ve had our annual funded-by-my-trade-union day jaunt to Whitby again. The weather has been decidedly nicer this time around compared to last …
