Just got back from a superb week of skiing with friends in Les Gets, France. Its been 3 years since I had the old ski-boards out on the slopes, I’d forgotten just how excellent they are. Unfortunately my left knee is not so excellent these days and despite bracing it wasn’t too happy with the [...]
I’m really pleased with the photos I took in Padstow, so much so, I have some more to show you…
We took a week off and relaxed in the harbour village of Padstow, North Cornwall. Many books were read, many pints of ale drunk and enough food to keep us going for the following week as well. I don’t think I had realised how much of Padstow Rick Stein actually owns but he does make [...]

I proposed to Keily in the Miller Howe restaurant on the evening of the 17th December. Here are some [...]
We had a week away in North Cornwall taking in Padstow, Launceston and Bude. Here are some of the best shots from the week…
This was arguably the warmest skiing season on record. Nothing at base, only really decent enough to ski above middle station. And its not the highest place in the world. Still, there’s plenty of beer and mulled wine to enjoy!
A holiday of the lifetime – a month overlanding in Africa. It was quite simply, incredible. Here are a few of the best shots from the trip…
