On Tuesday evening we were treated to the most glorious of sunsets from Llanelli foreshore. Under a clear sky and with the tide rapidly rising, it was hard not to marvel as the natural world put on one of its best displays this year. And in case you were wandering, Read more…
I’ve been back in the UK now for just over a week after spending a fantastic fortnight exploring the Jungfrau region of Switzerland. Shunning the luxuries of a hotel in a country not exactly known for its low prices, we instead rented a static caravan near Interlaken on the shores Read more…
I woke with shipwrecks on the brain Sunday morning which isn’t as unusual for me as it might sound. With another gorgeous day forecast and a very low tide mid afternoon I decided a fourth attempt at photographing the City of Bristol wreck in Rhossili bay was definitely the way Read more…
Lawn cutting. The necessary evil that is the price to pay for any decent weather. Alas I fell victim on Saturday morning and was soon being punished by a combination of flying ants and a mower that weighs just a little less than a small hatchback. Thankfully I managed to Read more…

With blue sky, fluffy white clouds and the sea lapping gently against the cliffs it didn’t take long for memories of the previous Read more…
It’s hard to believe that the last two days were part of the same weekend given the complete contrast in weather conditions between them. Lets start with Saturday where we woke to a fierce storm that looked more akin to winter than the summer we are supposedly having. With rain Read more…
