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 2026 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 and in December 2025/January 2026 we spent time in Washington DC and California.
Day three - morning looking at the amazing art by Käthe Kollwitz - seen as ‘degenerate’ by the Nazis - followed by a walk and meal with the lovely Linda and George. Kollwitz’s line work was something to aspire to.

Day two - visited a lake for a swim - wonderful - and then an evening meal - superb - with Berlin friends Linda and George.

Another enjoyable session with Paddy last week. I feel I’m making progress (and then I look at everyone else’s! 😁).

A 1927 aerial view of Hythe with @kitscottage visible (first separated white build top left). We think Kits was the first property built in perhaps the 1820s.

This is a few blocks away from our house. Three houses have to have their windows boarded up in case they melt.

This was me a long, long time ago, probably 1977 or 1978. I modelled myself on Stanley Clarke.

Marching season has started with a fly past this evening.

Sink area units are now in and everything plumbed in. White are the secondhand units (cut down) and the blue are new. We’ve also ordered the worktops which should arrive around the 8 August. Exciting.

Two tons of top soil ready to be ‘bucketed’ to the back garden.

From 2018 when the Red Arrows visited Folkestone (and I was only 58!).

I’ve just spent a few days @kitscottage doing a few running repairs and replacing things like the garden seat. Too hot to do too much but it was worth the visit. Kits was looking great in the sun and a nice breeze blows through the house. We still have some availability from September onwards: www.kitscottage.uk.
