Last weekend I headed to Monument with my camera. I just had time to grab a quick coffee with Mum before meeting a larger group of avid photographers, and Jo, by The Monument. We were met by our “Shooting the Square Mile” tutor, Nick and before long and the course began. The aim of the day was to…
This is me after school many years ago, in my roller skates, just loving life. Absolutely having a ball. At that age and height I could whizz around (with my…what is that?! Little plastic golf club?) at home each evening with some pop music playing and have a blast. So, when recently asked if I…
We all do Christmas differently. Some bits might be similar, but no two families will be the same and we nearly all think our way is the best. I suppose I can’t really claim to have a “way” to celebrate – 2 years ago my Christmas was dictated by a spreadsheet, and last year I…

Photographs courtesy of Barkie, who takes a better photo than me most of the time. I’ve found some fancy editing tools to add some character so I’ll still take credit for that bit, if…
I found somewhere amazing! OK I didn’t find it, I was taken there by someone who knows me TOO well! Ah it was wonderful! Wimbledon’s Sunday food market on Plough Lane (by the dog track). It’s only little but it has a superb array of fresh meat and veg at crazy-cheap prices. I love a…
