Creative Inspiration at its best!
Every once in a while an artist comes along who can change your whole way of thinking, of seeing, of creating! Six months ago “Dark Side Of The Lens” dropped in to my inbox, and since then I have sat and watched it countless times. Through flat spells, before surfing and often just to to…
Gale warnings…
Yesterday, I woke to the shipping forecast, telling me to expect severe gale force 9 in the North Sea, the area I call home! Today the North of England is battered by these gales, blowing from the South West, pulling down trees, snapping telegraph posts and whipping the sea in to a boiling froth of…
Urban Freeway…
For the passed few years I have racked up a scary annual milage, travelling the length and breadth of the nation on various assignments. From North West Scotland for the Mountain Bike World Cup, to South Wales and the South of England for Cricket and horses and most places in between. Inevitably I spend many…
Scotland and all roads North!

At the same time bringing chaos to traffic and a logistical nightmare to those who had to make it to work! I was meant to be traveling…

Self Portrait Session
Much of England has now had snow for almost a month, although its currently pouring with rain outside my window and melting way to fast for my liking! With snow on the ground, there was only one thing I was ever going to do, go riding! But I took the opportunity to experiment with some…
Snow causes travel chaos…
Every year one thing is for certain, the country will grind to a halt at the first signs of snow, we will be advised not to travel, to stay indoors and wrap up warm! Schools will shut, traffic will be a nightmare, the rail network will grind to a slow agonising stop… But life will…
