With my new hip now 5 weeks old, I have been gradually increasing the lengths of my walks on the new joint over the last week or so. So a nice excuse to wander along the River Mersey at New Brighton on the Wirral yesterday afternoon. A cold but beautiful, still and sunny day. As you…

General advice is to get out and about to visit the various woods and forests across England. Well this morning in…

It was cold but dry and sunny, the sky was blue, the fine architecture dazzled and the sculptures were picked out in the autumn sunshine. David Attenborough was…
I was in Port Sunlight today with my photography class so the students could practise the theory learned over the previous two weeks.
