Subscription services for a whole range of products are becoming more and more popular. One area that I personally have been interested in the last couple of years is grooming. Due to my being of course bald in the main I do have to shave my head very regularly. This brings its own problems with […]
I recently spent the day in London solely to travel around on the Underground to take photos. Not your traditional day out in London maybe, but one borne out of a railway enthusiast friend thinking of a nice day out to celebrate my birthday where the theme was ‘the meeting of hobbies’. I love photography […]
As I look out of the window today I can see that Autumn is upon us. With the leaves turning to reds, oranges and golds and the nip in the air, summer is all but a memory. Autumn is my favourite season of the year. It brings with it bracing walks, followed by warming hearty […]
La Cerdanya is a playground for all those who love the great outdoors. Rugged mountains, sparkling glacial lakes, and verdant valleys set the scene for hikers, climbers, cyclists, mountain bikers and those that just enjoy ambling about in beautiful surroundings and we discovered much of what the area has to offer on a recent trip […]
On my travels and wanders there are so many times I see something, want to photograph it, and wish I could get closer yet practically I cannot. With this in mind it was a joy to be asked to try out the Kodak PixPro AZ901. A bridge camera that covers all manner of daily uses, […]
Akajima island (or Aka to those in the know) lies off the coast of Okinawa, which itself lies off the coast of mainland Japan. Home to 250 people and a whole lot of wildlife, it’s the perfect paradisal place to chill away from the Okinawan tourist traps. An easy, 50-minute ferry from Tomari port in […]

Auchentoshan distillery is located near to the Erskin bridge on the outskirts of Glasgow and was built in 1800, the distillery has changed hands since many […]
Time to head back to one of my favourite climbs of the Lake District. High Street, a mountain in the eastern side of the Lake District fells. It stands at 828 metres (2,718 ft) high, with various routes up, and as I was staying over that way it was a perfect place to head to for a day […]
I cannot think of a better way to spend a lovely fall day than walking through 3 kms of enclosures, known as Salmonier Nature Park, that are set up to help rehabilitate injured animals. The forests of Newfoundland and Labrador have a plethora of animals. There are several bio domes and zoos through the country, but […]
One of the most beautiful places in the entire world is Richmond Park in south-west London. A 2,358 acre nature reserve with elevated views across Thames Valley to Windsor and Surrey. These picturesque vistas can be seen from the paved area behind Pembroke Lodge, at King Henry’s Mound. The area is steeped in royal history […]
The walk into the ancient forest begins with an introduction by Paul Jewison, founder and curator of This Green Moon. We’re here with eight other diners for a night of culinary delights under the stars courtesy of his namesake Paul Robinson – the highly regarded Yorkshire Gourmet. The evening is ‘Off Grid’ so not only […]
So, hands up if you thought all wine was vegan and/or vegetarian? I must admit, it is one of those things you don’t really give a second thought to. As a friend said “surely it’s just made of grapes, isnt it?” Well yes it is basically alcoholic grape juice but did you know animal products […]
