Tommy and his big cousin Oliver! Oliver is two on Friday so we went to deliver his birthday present. He was so excited to see Tommy again and is so loving towards him. For the first time he was fascinated by Tommy’s little arm and kept stroking it and saying ‘gone’. It brought tears to my eyes when I took the first photo above … Continue reading 20th January 2015 20/365
I spent a lovely couple of hours this morning with Michelle Clarke Stables http://www.mcstables.co.uk/ who as well as being a talented artist is great fun to work with, and Joanne Harris the author. I will admit to being a little nervous working with a ‘famous person’ but … Continue reading 19th January 2015 19/365
Frosty morning – we had a light dusting of snow last night so I went for a stroll. Tip Think about your composition when taking images! Continue reading 18th January 18/365
A joint post for 16th & 17th as they are all of Tommy – he stayed last night and has discovered the joys of rusks, reading in bed on Saturday morning, watching the birds in the garden and sitting up by himself! I am totally besotted – even at 2am xx Continue reading 16th & 17th January 2015 16/365 17/365

Today the Thrush reappeared – haven’t seen these for a while so went upstairs to get my camera and when I returned our Woodpecker, who also hasn’t visited for a while, was feeding on the fat … Continue reading 15th January 2015 15/365

I was invited to run a workshop for the Creative Learning Network at the Hepworth Gallery in Wakefield. What a lovely way to spend an evening. We used my #littlepeople and had access to the Museum after hours. It’s an amazing space and I fully intend visiting again with my camera! The workshop participants all joined in with enthusiasm.

Over the past few months I have been working with Amie in the art department at Darton college and with artist Michelle Clarke Stables. It is actually wrong to call this work as it is amazing to work with wonderful people and see pupils so engrossed in their work. This work will be exhibited along with photographs at Barnsley Civic in February. Continue reading 12th January 2015 12/365
After taking photos of the dried hydrangeas I had in the house last week, I found one solitary hydrangea in the garden. It is obviously in a different condition to the ones in the house – no colour left and paper thin petals. Cobwebs if you look closely but so photogenic! Tip Dry some of your flowers and then photograph them in natural light – … Continue reading 11th January 2015 11/365
