  • Pictures of snow

    This post is simply some of the images that I’ve taken over the last few days. We’ve had an unexpectedly large amount of snow fall (for where I live), and I’ve been out with my camera capturing it.

  • Walking on my ancestors

    On a recent walk, I found myself in a churchyard. I’ve been here dozens of times before. Because it commands wonderful views of the coastline, I’m usually looking up and out across the sea. Today though, it was cloudy and I found myself looking at my surroundings more, looking at the ground more. For the […]

  • Recycled churches

    In the UK, church attendance has been in decline for decades, possibly a century. Almost nobody I know, including myself, go to church for it’s intended purpose. Our villages, towns and cities are peppered with thousands of churches. Many of them are very old, expensive to maintain and trying to find a place in a […]

  • The ubiquity of walking

    I’m lucky enough to live in, what we call in the UK, the countryside. There is very little of the UK which does not have the stamp of humanity upon it. Our countryside is composed of farmland, stone walls, managed forest and the like. In other parts of the world you have the chance to […]

  • Walk in the Howardian Hills
