What to see in the Lake District
We decided to venture up North and spend a few days in Keswick exploring the Lake District, it seemed like it might be fun. The Lake District had never really held much appeal to me. I knew it was meant to be pretty but that didn't prepare me for just how photogenic...
Richmond Park revisited
The alarm went off at stupid o'clock and we got up and got out of the house by 5:30 so that we could get to Richmond Park before dawn. Unfortunately the beautiful sunrise that I was hoping for was hidden behind a solid grey blanket of cloud but...
Land of the Vampire
We had sampled the Yorkshire Dales so felt it only right and proper to give the York Moors a bash. We drove across the rather impressive Yorkshire Moors and dropped down into Whitby. We started our whistle-stop tour of Whitby at the rather beautiful ruins...
Ribblehead Viaduct
So the 'main event', as far as I was concerned anyway, of our trip up North, was to get a pic or two at Batty Moss Viaduct, otherwise known as Ribblehead Viaduct. A 400m 24 arch viaduct crossing Batty Moss in the valley of the River Ribble. Unfortunately,...
Malham Cove, a very wet dry waterfall
We set off to the Yorkshire Dales to walk around Malhamdale, a roughly ten mile walk, setting off from Malham, taking in the falls at Janet's Foss and Gordale Scar, then on to Malham tarn, back through Ing Scar to the top of Malham Cove and...
It’s grim up North
We headed 'up North' for a few days, to experience York, the Dales and the Moors. Little did we know quite how much we would experience our rain coats as part of that deal! York has quite a bit to offer the tourist armed with a camera: York Minster...
Hops and Harvest Boutique Festival
Becky acquired some tickets, so we headed off to the Hops and Harvest Boutique Festival in Maidstone to see what was on offer. The answer it appears is quite a lot... There were essentially four stages, a main stage where you could find the...
A day by the sea in Brighton
We headed off to spend a day in Brighton, the summer is drawing to a close and the days are getting shorter so we needed to make as much of the days we had left. Half way through the day the gulls started to flock, presumably as there was a...
Jam at the Farm 2017
So, this year I was once again tasked by a certain Mr Ross, to come up with the graphic theme for Jam at The Farm, A few posters and banners were created along with fliers, laminates, signs and assorted social media images. A fun little project...
return to the BWC
We decided that it was about time we revisited the British Wildlife Centre, however this time the weather was considerably hotter and many of the animals seemed to be enjoying a day long siesta and proving difficult to see. However by the end of the day I had managed...
A day at The Rare Breeds Centre
I won't lie, I had always thought of the rare breeds centre near Tenterden as an attraction for little children who wanted nothing more than to stroke a pig and pat a goat but it wasn't until I started to search for local butterfly displays that I realised that the...
Ramblin’ Man Fair 2017
The time of year when Maidstone's Mote Park becomes a mecca for middle aged rockers with grey beards and wok shaped bellies arrived once again and this time I was able to attend all three nights. The Friday was headlined by Saxon and it was great to watch their full...
