Remember all those summer holidays when you were a kid? It doesn’t matter where you went for your holidays, it was always fish & chips for dinner. And now it’s the same with the kids and grandkids – fish & chips for dinner by the water in summer. Of course, feeding the birds is all a part of it. And in our part of the world, that means pelicans!

A walk on the road to recovery

I went for a walk this morning.
Nothing much to write about there you might think, but it’s the first walk I’ve done for quite a while.
I won’t go into the whys, but I haven’t been doing much at all really. I get up in the morning and walk the seven steps from my bedroom to my office. Occasionally I’ll walk into the kitchen to get coffee and/or food and come back.
As you can imagine, I’ve put on a bit of weight, which of course has been making the whole cycle worse.
But I’m starting to turn it around.
A weekend with The Outdoorsy One

The Outdoorsy One came down to stay for the weekend. She was missing her mum and wanted to hang out. So we did.
Saturday was a beautiful day. We got up and sat in the sun having breakfast. I made spiced ricotta, raspberry and hazelnut muffins, which we had with real coffee and champagne (well – I had champagne). I don’t always make muffins for breakfast, but it was a special day with my first born.
Is it travel photography if you’re at home?

As you can see from my website, I love to travel, and I love to take photos. Combine the two and you have my perfect job – travel photography.
If only somebody would pay me to do it I’d be as happy as the proverbial pig.
Maybe one of the reasons I don’t get paid for it is I’ve never been able to work out exactly what travel photography is.
