Walking pixels: 26 April
After the thunder and lightening and torrential rain of yesterday, today has a more sunshine and showers feel about it. There was quite a lot of blue sky for my walk this morning – and more than the odd puddle. It seems to be warming up a little bit too – but not quite enough…
Read MoreThe first asparagus of Spring
A couple of days ago husband Geoff returned from his lunchtime bike ride (zero food miles!) with a small rucksack full of the first asparagus of the Spring bought from Portwood Asparagus in Great Ellingham, Norfolk. With the exception of my son Tom, we all love asparagus in our household and look forward to the…

Yuk what horrible weather we are having at the moment. Rain, rain and then more rain! Undeterred I strode out for my walk this morning – as you can imagine there were no Blue Skies today – just grey and gloom. Still I managed to fire off a few quick pics on my mobile and…
Read MoreWalking pixels: 21 April
It was beautiful first thing this morning and the big Norfolk skies looked amazing. With in an hour grey clouds had gathered and the blue had disappeared. Luckily I was able to keep it safe on my phone for later…..
Read MoreWalking pixels: 17 April
I have a big back log of walking pixel photos waiting to be downloaded from my phone – most of them full of sunny mornings and blue skies. Sadly this morning was not one of those mornings! At a quarter to eight the rain was torrential and a morning walk was looking a very unpleasant…
Read MoreThe first wet garlic of Spring
While we were shopping on Saturday I spotted the first wet garlic of the spring on one of the stalls on Norwich market. For the uninitiated, wet or green garlic is the first fresh harvest of the season and it is called “wet” because it has not been hung up to dry so does not…
Read MoreUtopia in a Norwich car park
I was in Norwich yesterday for a bit of shopping and a meet up with a couple whose wedding we’re shooting later in the year. The city car parks were chock-a-block as Norwich were playing at home to Manchester City. However we found a space in a little used car park off Westwick Street which…
Read MoreGreece revisited: Rosy’s Little Village
Autumn 2004. After months of procrastinating we finally bit the bullet and decided to take our first family holiday abroad. There was no discussion to be had about the destination – it had to be Greece. Geoff had lived and taught English there the year before we met and we had subsequently had two holidays…
Read MoreDark Norfolk skies
We popped out late yesterday afternoon to visit my niece who’s just had an operation for cataracts (a success – hurrah!). The weather forecast earlier in the day had predicted heavy showers but we did not expect to see skies quite like this. Sods law meant that none of us had a decent camera with…
Read MoreAfter the Easter rain
Well what a cold and wet Easter it’s been! As I type it’s still pouring with rain outside, the sky is grey and Ben Hur is trending on Twitter as everyone settles down for a bank holiday epic with a cast of thousands!. Traditionally I always like to get out into the garden and get…
Read MoreRizzle razzles!
Way before Rizzle Kicks came on the scene one of my daughter’s nick names has been Rizzle. As luck would have it she is a great fan of the boys and she even got to see them at the Guides Big Gig last year! Yesterday she had one of her dancing moments in the…
Read MoreSpring pixels
After a session of mega posting to launch the Pixel Chef I have been very remiss and not posted anything for nearly two weeks. That’s not to say that I’ve not taken any photos – I have a couple of luscious recipe features planned and have been very busy with my work for 2up photography.…
