Adventures have been few and far between this month. January has been grey and wet and cold – which I guess is to be expected for the midwinter month – and despite our best efforts we’ve really only been out properly as a family on one Sunday over the last four weeks. Sunday is the…
Back in October we took the holiday-of-a-lifetime to Walt Disney World in Florida, staying at the fabulous Balmoral Resort. We’d saved up for (quite literally) years to be able to do it, making the big decision to take the trip to The Magic Kingdom rather than use our hard-earned savings towards the deposit on a…
When I was a child, I don’t think I was really aware that Walt Disney World was a real place. Of course I grew up watching all the films (my favourites were Aladdin and The Little Mermaid) and I knew all the words to every song but I didn’t know that there was an actual…

Christmas is over for another year and I’ve been home from Colorado for almost three full months now. Sometimes I still wonder if it ever really happened at all and then I look up at the Christmas cards all my new friends sent me lined up along the bookcase in our lounge and I know I did. It just…

Early one Sunday morning back at the start of November, we bundled into the car and headed down to Marlborough. The purpose of the trip was to collect some of my Dad’s belongings from my Stepmum, who, after two and a half years of living alone in a town she only has bad memories of, is making…
Somehow almost two months have passed since I attended Leap Retreat in Colorado. So far I’ve shared my initial thoughts and feelings about the whole experience in Part One, and what I got up to for 12 hours in Denver in Part Two. I figured it was probably about time I shared one of the…
Way back in January, when I first learned that I’d been chosen out of nearly 5,000 people as the winner of a place at Leap Retreat, all I could focus on was the time I’d be spending in the Rocky Mountains with the other attendees, soaking up anything and everything we could about photography from our incredible…
I’ve been home from Leap Retreat for a month. A whole month! That’s almost unfathomable to me. It seems like it was only a couple of days ago that I was enveloped in the beautiful, magical place that is the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, and yet at the same time it seems so far away and so long ago…
