I woke with a start at 3.50 in the morning, wondering where I was. John woke too, maybe because I'd disturbed him, so I made a cup of tea and we showered and got ready for our final flight to Hobart. There, my sister in law would be waiting to collect us to take us... Continue Reading →
My overwhelming feeling is of having lost 2 days. We've arrived in Sydney on Tuesday evening having left home early Monday and it feels as though the world has just kept turning around us while we were in some sort of weird time zone in the sky. We saw the sunrise over Singapore and we... Continue Reading →
We're in some sort of odd other world up the sky, where time makes no sense as we travel over 7000 miles on a 13-hour flight from Manchester to Singapore at almost 600 miles per hour. We left the house at 6 o'clock this morning and have been travelling for 13 hours so far, and... Continue Reading →
Yesterday, I took my mum and dad on a trip on a heritage train from Bangor to Windsor along the west coast main line, with West Coast Railways. Unfortunately it was a diesel train, rather than a steam train, but I'd booked premier dining, which included silver service of full English breakfast in the morning and... Continue Reading →
People have been asking me and John about our new campervan, particularly what it's like inside and why we chose it. It's a Knaus BoxLife 630, which John has named 'Bertie'. I wasn't sure about this name at first but it seems to suit the van and has grown on me a lot. We loved... Continue Reading →
Not my usual type of challenge as there was no running involved... Last weekend's challenge was to photograph the 3 main lighthouses on Anglesey – Penmon, Llanddwyn Island and South Stack. The day was a Welshot rewards day and the aim of the event was to be out all day, experimenting with photography and, hopefully capturing a...

When I did Trail Marathon Wales on the hottest day of the year, last year, I said I'd never do a run in heat like that again. So how come I ended up attempting an ultra during a heatwave?! Yes... I must be mad. It was a day of ups and downs, and I did... Continue Reading →
I've had a fantastic weekend photographing flowers and insects on Anglesey and in Snowdonia. The weather was beautiful and it was great to be out in the sunshine. Unfortunately, the hot, dry weather meant little creatures like frogs were hiding somewhere cool and damp where we couldn't find them. Otherwise, the weekend was only marred... Continue Reading →
It's been a very busy week, and a very hot one. It's been lovely to get out in the sunshine  and practise various techniques with photographers from Prestatyn camera club and Welshot. I joined Prestatyn camera club last week and, this week, we had a trip to the beach to have a go at taking... Continue Reading →
Walking with friends, listening to music, raising money for charity, and enjoying stunning scenery and warm sunshine... it doesn't get much better than that! Yesterday we took part in a 12 mile hike from Zip World in Bethesda, up the Nant Ffrancon valley to Cwm Idwal in the heart of Snowdonia, raising money for Love... Continue Reading →
