Another couple from yesterday. I must remember to take carrots the next time.

Nice out there this morning.

A cold, but beautiful walk tonight. Including a glimpse of my little friends

Nice wintery walk today. First one that was properly head-in-the-sun-crunch-underfoot.

A new studio painting of the Stonor valley in the Chiltern hills. I'm trying to convey the beautiful winter light which broke through the clouds over the valley. Oil on gesso panel, 36 x 46 cm.

In the bleak mid winter.

Believe it or not this is a colour photo…

I was being watched this morning…

In light like today even railway bridges can look enticing.

A different day, different light.

This gate at the very start of my daily walk always feels like entering a different world.

Another day, another walk.

I am a sucker for a beckoning path.

I thought I would start sharing some of my photographs from my daily walks. This one is of the River Misbourne looking very full after all the rain we’ve had.

Thatching uses the rain’s angle of descent against it. The material isn’t in itself waterproof, but it guides the drops from the roof’s surface to the ground. It’s gravity judo. I watched the thatch going up on this row of cottages. It was weirdly restful.
