Latest Designs: Two For Joy
16 June, 2018
I’ve been busy with commissions and (whispers) my other job lately, but I have been able to complete a couple of new designs, the first of which is this pendant. It features two polished silver magpies, set against a contrasting textured and oxidised background. It measures 0.8cm wide by 2.5cm long. I’ve made a few … More Latest Designs: Two For Joy
May Landscape: The Beach at Elie
31 May, 2018
We spent a wonderful week in Fife during May, and my landscape for the month had to be one of the photographs that I took there. This is the beach at Elie at low tide, looking over towards Earlsferry.
Found Treasures
25 May, 2018
As I mentioned in my last post, we recently returned from a holiday in Fife, Scotland. We had a great week, and one of the highlights for me was the opportunity to do a bit (well, quite a lot, if I’m honest) of beachcombing. I found one particular beach that was awash with sea glass … More Found Treasures
Liquid
21 May, 2018
The theme for this week’s photo challenge is ‘liquid’, which is timely for me, as we’ve just got back from a holiday in St Monans, on the East Neuk of Fife, Sctoland. It’s essentially a coastal area, and the landscapes are dominated by the sea. We were blessed with wonderfully warm and sunny weather, so … More Liquid
April Landscape: The End of the Day
1 May, 2018
I usually try to pick a photograph that sums up the month, but this April has seen such dramatic changes in the landscape that it feels impossible to represent it in one image. Instead, I’ve chosen this beautiful, dramatic bank of cloud, which is reflecting the colour of the setting sun. It also features one … More April Landscape: The End of the Day

We’ve been living in Northumberland for over a year now, and I’m still regularly thrilled by the number and variety of wild birds and animals that we see. We’re within easy reach of a range of habitats, from stunning coastline to river valleys, farmland to wild moors, coniferous forests to copses of native trees. We … More Latest Designs: Wild Creatures
Wordless Wednesday: Slope
18 April, 2018
I haven’t messed with this – it really was that steep.
Around Alwinton
15 April, 2018
Finally, some sunshine. It seems to have been grey and wet so often over the past fews weeks. Winter has been slow to release its grip this year, but finally it looks as though we’ve seen the back of it. To celebrate, we headed off for a walk around the village of Alwinton, a little … More Around Alwinton
March Landscape: Snowy Scene
27 March, 2018
These aren’t the sort of pictures that I was expecting to be posting for my March landscape, but it really has been a month dominated by snow. We had three days of heavy snowfall and high winds, which caused massive drifts amd blocked the road for nearly a week. Just as that lot finally melted, … More March Landscape: Snowy Scene
