Weird Norfolk Skies
I’m going to be very British and witter on about the weather. What a weird day its been! Awoke to torrential rain and so abandoned my usual morning walk. By lunchtime we had sunshine and blue skies – by school pick up time there was all sorts of weather – rain, hail, rainbows and weird…
Read MoreGreg James, Henry Moore and 50 years of the UEA
Back in September, when the sun was still shining and Christmas was just a distant twinkle, I went along to the UEA for their 50th anniversary celebrations. It was a glorious day and the campus was full of visitors of all ages taking part in a huge range of activities. With me on the visit…
Read MoreSummer’s end
As I type the realisation that summer really has ended is beginning to set it. Last night I cracked out my warm pyjamas and bed socks and it won’t be long before the winter duvet comes back out of the airing cupboard. Still we can’t complain – we really did have a lovely summer for…

So there I am in the kitchen – it’s Friday night, I’m cooking a curry (Thai green in case you’re interested!) and I look out of the window to see an amazing rain and hail laden, dark sky in bright sunshine. Sometimes photography is like a drug – so I run to the office, put…
Read MoreScary crows and corny fields
Over the last few days I seem to have been nothing but a taxi service for my teenage offspring, ferrying them and an assortment of friends to the cinema, shopping, parties and sleepovers.

Read MoreHope at last?
I hate to drone on again about the weather but this last week has been so cold and miserable and so unlike Spring… This morning we woke to bright sunshine and even thought there still a fierce Easterly wind it has given us a bit of hope that spring might finally be on the way.…
Read MoreBlue but not blue!
The forecast was right and today the sky was blue for the first time in ages. It’s amazing how the light makes you feel so much better. I have a friend who suffers from SAD and today made her feel lik a new womean. Long may the spring sun shine!

Both of these shots have several different textures applied including the texture that I made for yesterday’s Valentine’s post. All are a bit dark and grungy – hopefully the spring weather will inspire me to do something a bit gentler…
