A couple of weeks ago we went to Paradise Wildlife Park. My photos are here. Thanks to a special offer pointed out to us by a friend, we had tickets for a “Monkey Tour”, which turned out to be absolutely brilliant. We got to meet ruffed lemurs, who were very laid back, and like to be tickled [...]

Way back in February, on our way home from Devon, we stopped off at Bristol Zoo. I took a few photos, as usual, but I wasn’t feeling very well that day so I wanted to try and concentrate on seeing as much as possible and having a good time. I love anywhere that you can [...]
Last weekend we drove down to Devon, to visit Paul’s family. We stopped at Paignton seafront, where we played a dancing game on the pier, took lots of photos underneath the pier, and chased a big crow who was trying to break open an enormous shellfish by dropping it on our car! I am full [...]
Today we went to the Thatcham Nature Discovery Centre, for a wildlife photography course. I learnt far more on this course than I did at the Twilight Photography one. I think the course and the teacher were just better suited to the way I like to learn. I’m really pleased with today’s pictures (which are [...]
Traditional English Summer.

Last weekend we paid a visit to Broadlands, where there was a multi-period historical re-enactment weekend going on. As you can see, the weather was absolutely ideal for a British summer’s day out. As it turned out the Victorian Redcoats didn’t have to shelter for very long, but it was certainly very wet while it [...]
These are all the things I’ve made during 2009 – or at least all the ones I’ve remembered to photograph! There doesn’t seem to be very much knitting in there, which surprises me, although I did spend most of the summer working on two large items which aren’t finished yet. I also still haven’t really [...]
Leaves in the snow.

I went for a walk in the snow this morning. I took a grand total of 99 pictures, then came back and edited them down to just 9. I went out rather early, so although there was a lot of light reflecting from the snow, it wasn’t really daylight yet. As a result a lot [...]

This is the big fat frog that hopped out from underneath the broken fence as we were pulling it down. He didn’t seem too keen to get out of our way – Paul had to rather unceremoniously pick him up and plop him down in next door’s plant pot! This morning, whilst wandering around on [...]
These are the photos from Centre Parcs – mostly of owls. I’m quite pleased with these, although I missed a lot of great shots of the owls by being much too slow! These are the photos from London – mostly of the aquarium and the zoo. Sadly a lot of these are either out of [...]
I’m just dropping in for a flying visit to upload the photos from the first part of our honeymoon – you can see them all here. Yesterday we had a Falconry session in the morning, and an Encounter With Owls in the afternoon. This enormous chap was featured in both. His name’s Woolly, and he’s [...]
