About
After a long career as a self-employed ICT professional I turned my hand to house renovation before undertaking an MFA in Photography, which I finished in 2021. During 2024 I’ll be renovating a house in Belfast.In 2012 I was a Gamesmaker and in 2016 I got married. In 2019 I moved to Ireland and my mum died in May 2021 and my dad in September 2021, just four months later. Our holidays are captured here. In 2023 we did a fabulous 3 month InterRail trip.
The 80s: Photographing Britain at Tate Britain. I recognised some of the names and I appear somewhere in the first image. I remember the 80s so well. Wish I’d discovered photography then but it’s never too late. Go see.

Kits was looking good in the evening sun yesterday. The roof repair seems to have done the job with humidity levels inside around 45%.

Hopefully on Monday we will be moving into our new house in Belfast; I’ve just transferred the money. To celebrate I’m having a wrap at a new place in Seabrook, The Best Thyme Cafe (very good). Still trying to find a replacement outside door though for Kits Cottage. ps And two photobooks have arrived which I’m very pleased with.

Up to London to see Ballet Shoes. Like a panto and described as a Christmas Cracker by the Guardian. I agree. It was also our anniversary; 21 years together.

And a Happy New Year from me. In 2025 we’ll be Belfast bound, we’ll be renting out our Sandgate flat (@4greenhills), I hope to continue (!) learning the bass, go swimming every day and support Jan whilst she does her PhD.

Annual walk from near Folkestone (Capel-le-Ferne) to Dover. This time in the fog. Feels like it gets shorter the more we do it.

New invented dish for Christmas - the Wallington (image 1, a vegan Wellington) - and other delights.

We’re back in Sandgate (@4greenhills, image 1) and just put up some Christmas decorations at @kitscottage (images 2 and 3). Hythe was looking great in the evening sun (St Leonards, image 4).

2011. We had to return to this park in Guayaquil, Ecuador, as the first time we didn’t see any Tree Iguanas. The name should have made us look up!
