Welcoming spring with Yoga Mala
Yesterday a small group of select yogis joined to welcome the spring and raise money for the Prostate Cancer Charity by performing a Yoga Mala of 108 sun salutations. It was a lovely uplifting evening with the hall full of candles and spring flowers. It was a particularly special event for our yoga teacher Sue…

Today’s the day when I finally unveil The Pixel Chef – the personal Blog I’ve been planning for several months. As you’ll see there’s already a fair amount of content on the Blog – I didn’t want to go public with just one post! I’ve been blogging for several years now as part of my…

Very foggy this morning. Or a pea souper you might call it. These photos cried out to be in black and white….
Read MoreWinter exhibition
Just before Christmas I exhibited a few of my photographs at The Dragonfly Gallery – a small but lovely little exhibiton space in Watton. As it was a very local exhibition I chose to display photographs taken within walking distance of our house – including some from our garden. The resulting set of images you…
Read MoreVignette app not Instagram!
As I don’t have an iphone (or an i anything for that matter!) I don’t have access to Instagram as it’s not yet available for Andriod. However I have been experimenting with other similar photo manipulation apps – my favourite of which is Vignette. I have had the demo for sometime now and have finally…

We’ve recently been making the effort to frame and display a few of the many hundreds (no thousands!) of family photographs that we have languishing on our server. With so many to chose from I decided to go back to the summer of 2004 when we bought our first digital SLR. I eventually picked these…
Read MoreIn the bike shed!
My husband Geoff is a very keen cyclist and has a shed full of bikes and bike paraphernalia. One of my favourite things to do is to take the camera into a space like the bike shed and shoot wide open with a prime lens to capture foreground detail and some lovely blurry background shapes. …
Read MoreA trip to the dark side!
I don’t get to go shopping in Norwich as much as I’d like to and usually when I usually do it involves trailing round with one or both of the kids! As a treat I normally put in my trusty old Canon 300d which has become my handbag camera but on this trip I decided…
