Last year was tough for me for one reason or another, but I've come through and out the other side with some great moments along the way! 2019 got off to a pretty rocky start for me! At New Year I was very poorly and in hospital with pneumonia having just had surgery to put an emergency feeding tube in! I'm pleased to say I've made a full recovery, but it has taken quite a while and I have been left with a lot of changes to get used to like being fed through a tube. Read my N

Last time I wrote that I was trying to think about what to do next and in answer to that I have recently done several photo-shoots, mainly of my garden and one up in Norfolk at Cley nature reserve. I have also started collecting images for an exciting exhibition I'm entering at my church Holy Trinity Redhill. I've done three shoots in my garden in short bursts partly to capture the best lighting and to get my eye in again. The first of these I focused on the cherry blossom an

Well as it is for all of us the build up to Christmas is a busy time of year and with three craft fairs I've had my fair share of busyness! I just thought I would drop you a few lines to let you know what I've been up to, and let you know what's coming up! I also thought it was a good time to look back over the year. Firstly, thank you for your support if you were at the Christmas Book and Card Sale on Saturday 17th! It was great to chat to some of you and get some lovely fee

As promised here's my reflection on last weekend and what a weekend it was! I've had a great time taking photos on Waveney Stardust II, their second boat, and also being filmed for the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch TV advert where I got to meet Spingwatch presenter Chris Packham. One of the highlights of my long weekend was my photo-shoot on-board Waveney Stardust II and it felt great to be back on the water again! The weather was fantastic and created some beautiful autumn light

Well I can't believe that the exhibition has already been and gone! Overall the event was a big success and I'm so grateful to everyone who came to support me! My thanks also goes to Holy Trinity Redhill for hosting the exhibition and everyone who helped to make it all possible! It was fantastic to hear such a positive response and receive so many lovely comments about my new work! In case your wondering though, all my old work is still available so don't panic! Anyway here's

My latest exhibition is fast approaching and with a week to go the final preparations are well underway! I do hope you can make it on Saturday 29th with 62 new images on show, light refreshments and prints, cards, cushions and bags on sale! Perfect for a spot of early Christmas shopping! I thought in this post I would also take some time answering one of the questions I frequently get asked, "how do you take the photos in the first place?" Well hopefully I can provide some an

Firstly a happy new year to you! (If a little late!) I hope you had a great festive period! I thought I would take this opportunity to look back at 2016, which turned out to be a great year! Then also a chance to look forward to a new year. At the beginning of last year if you had told me how well some the events I took part in would go I wouldn't have believed you! Starting out in photography has to be one of the most nerve racking things I've ever done! I am so grateful for
