A Norfolk Henna party!
A couple of weeks back I was honoured to be invited to a Henna evening at my friend Sarah’s house – very bohemian for a sleepy Norfolk village like Carbrooke! But then Sarah is pretty bohemian herself as she can juggle with fire and spends a lot of time in Morocco with her business Vivid…
Walking pixels: 4 May
What can I say…it is cold, it is wet, this is not spring weather. As I type the wood burner is still burning and I’m thinking of a hot water bottle for bed tonight…
Walking pixels: 3 May
Today’s walking pixels are brough to you by the colour yellow. It was cold and wet so I thought I’d look for bright sunny things….
Comfort food
Well after sticking its head above the parapet yesterday, today the sun has now deserted us. Once again it has been chilly, grey and rather miserable – so to cheer us up I’ve taken “time out breaks” from working on the computer to rustle up some comfort food in the kitchen! For elevenses we had…
Walking pixels: 30 April
After the awful weather of late this morning was sublime. Warm, sunny, the sky larks soaring. I also saw my first swallow of the spring but I’ve yet to hear a cuckoo. Today’s images are processed with a photoshop action that I’m refining at the moment which will hopefully be available very soon for download.
Wet and wetter…
What a week it’s been – cold, wet and miserable – not at all like Spring. I seem to have seen the world through misty, wet windows – whether it’s been from my desk, in the kitchen or from inside the car. All photos taken on my mobile using vignette app.
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…
The 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…
Walking pixels: 24 April
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…
Walking 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…..
Walking 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…
The 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…
Utopia 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…
Greece 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…
Dark 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…
