My First Impressions of Edinburgh
Edinburgh is a gorgeous city. Within seconds of coming out of the train station my eyes were staring all over the place at the amazing buildings and statues. We walked up some steps and through a medieval archway to get to the Royal Mile. This historic stretch leads from the castle all of the way [...]
Surf’s Up at Great Western Beach, Newquay: Travel Snapshot
As dusk slowly creeps in, shadows are cast over this sunny August day. The air cools and everything has quietened down a notch. But in Newquay, the surfing capital of the UK, the surf is still up.

Contrasting Landscapes on a Road Trip in Cyprus
The weather was beautiful, the golden beach was only a few steps away and cheap cocktails were on tap. Just what I wanted and expected from a resort holiday in Protaras, Cyprus. But after a few days of lounging around in the often unbearable heat (it was August), we decided that a change of scene [...]
Swan Lake: Swans, Swans and More Swans
Brayford Pool in Lincoln should be called Swan Lake. It is full of stunning, graceful swans. I took a load of pictures over the weekend when the water was largely frozen over. Some of them were included in my last post, but I wanted to share more…
A Snowy Day in Lincoln and “Pointless Weather Photography”
What do you do when it’s cold and snowy outside? Usually we like to hibernate in front of the heater (there’s no lovely open fire in our flat I’m afraid). But today me and Andy decided to venture outside to tread some snow and get some fresh air. I also thought this would be a [...]
