My good lady, a couple of friends, their dog and I spend 4 days over New Year staying at the famous Clachaig Inn up in the wilds of Scotland and were treated to great food and drink, beautiful scenery, cold but crisp weather and a good bit of walking. Anybody who’s ever been climbing or hiking in the area will know what a gem the Clachaig is and we were not disappointed!

My good lady and I just spent a long weekend visiting our friends in Lyon, France. It just so happened that the annual ‘Fete des Lumieres‘ was on this weekend so we went to see what all the fuss was about. It turned out to be pretty cool with light, video and all sorts projected onto the myriad historical buildings throughout the city. All in all a great weekend with great friends, wine and food!

My good lady and I just spent a week in the village of St Ives in Cornwall and were blessed with stunning weather, sandy beaches, great food and lots of great little shops and art galleries to explore. We came back with slight suntans, a lovely oil painting, memories of many delicious meals including one at Jamie Oliver’s 15 restaurant (which really was amazing), but above all we returned relaxed and refreshed, not wanting to leave. Which I guess is the point of a holiday! Not surprisingly I took a few photos to document the visit…

Our friends Ben and Anna recently ‘escaped to the country’ and bought themselves a lovely bungalow in north Wales. In search of sunshine we spent a long weekend staying with them and it’s fair to say that we really didn’t want to come back!

Every year forests all over the country are filled with bluebells and every year I forget and never take any pictures. Not this time!

Our plan to grow our own veg is starting to gain some momentum and we spent the day cutting trees, sorting out our veg plots and various other exciting gardening tasks which I felt compelled to document.
