Seasonal changes at Linwood Warren Project
The last time I had a day off which was either late April or the begining of May, I forget when through general exhaustion I returned to Linwood Warren with my brother. I’ve entitled in May so we’ll leave it at that, either way I went there and enjoyed it!
I’d […]
Photograph of St Peter’s church at Chateau d’ Oex….
It was whilst photographing the 2010 Parmigiani Balloon Festival at Chateau d’ Oex in Switzerland last month that I noticed this charming church sat on the hill top welcoming the early visitors to come and have a look around. St Peter’s Church belongs to the Church of […]
The 2010 Festival International de ballons…..
Just got back from the opening day of the Parmigiani International Balloon Festival held annually at Chateau d’Oex in Switzerland.
The festival runs from the 23rd to the 31st of January and features balloons of all shapes and sizes taking off from Chateaux d’Oex and filling the skies above the snow […]
A visitors guide to Middle Rasen Plantation near Market Rasen, Lincolnshire…..
Across the road from Usselby Plantation is the much larger and quite brilliant Middle Rasen Plantation which I walked around for the first time with my brother this week.

Revisiting an old childhood haunt…
On Sunday I met up with my brother for an early morning walk around the woods we used to play in as boys. Bradley Woods in Grimsby holds many fond memories for me, I suppose that it was here that I would have been first introduced to the virtues of fresh […]
Chambers Farm Wood on an Autumn’s Morning….
It seems to me that a wood is the yardstick above all else for showcasing the changing seasons and the cycle of life. A woodland scene in early Spring offers hope and new life as it drags itself up from a deep Winter’s sleep before gathering pace and bursting […]
A Lincolnshire Sunset…..
Managed to get away for some fresh air for an hour today. I went to my favourite haunt to watch my favourite barn owl strut its stuff along the ditches and dirt tracks in search of supper and he/she didn’t disappoint me. Too far away for a photograph I settled instead for a […]
Watching life go by…..
Two years ago I drove to a town close to my childhood home. It stands at the edge of an estuary, a once proud and prosperous town now, sadly on the decline. Two years ago I came here alone to try and find the place where my father would take me as […]
The Knights Templar in Lincolnshire…
My home county has a considerable history with the legendary Templar Knights and nowhere is this more apparent than in the village of Temple Bruer, home to an original Templar building.
Actually, the Templar’s do predate Dan Brown’s ‘The Da Vinci Code’ believe it or not, the knights first set foot on […]
