A Week In Provence

November 15, 2018 by admin | Comments Off

I love my home town of Manchester but it can get a little grey and drizzly sometimes, especially as winter approaches. So, to recharge our batteries enough to see us through the dark winter months , we managed to steal a week away in sunny Provence a few weeks back. The lavender may have been out of season but the region is full of incredible natural beauty all year round. From picture-postcard coastal towns like Menton and Villefranche-Sur-Mer along the Cote D’Azur, to the luscious green valleys of the Gorge du Verdon, we found ourselves surrounded by jaw-dropping scenery almost every where we went. I’ve collated some of my favourite images fro the trip in the gallery below. I hope you enjoy them!

North Of the Wall

November 3, 2018 by admin | Comments Off

We saw out the end of October with a trip up to Northumberland, just past Hadrian’s Wall, and then onwards up to Loch Awe in Scotland, accompanied by friends and the worlds cutest little black pug.

The idea behind the trip to Northumberland was to take advantage of the incredible dark sky park they have around the Kielder area for some stargazing and astrophotography. Unfortunately the weather had other ideas and we only had a single briefly clear night during our 3 day stay. On the plus side, the stormy clouds made for some incredible landscapes during the daylight hours.

We continued northwards up towards Oban and Fort William, where we took a trip on The Jacobite – a fully working steam train that many will recognise as the Hogwarts Express in the Harry Potter films. Scotland was rainy, windy and unbelievably beautiful. It was a long 6 hour journey home but it was worth every second.

You can see a selection of my favourite images from the trip in the gallery below.
