…that time of year. Hat tip to my pal Tammy for giving me the idea for this doodle! Hope you’re mulling all the things in the lead-up to Xmas. I saw a pub offering mulled rum yesterday, now there’s one to try. Despite being cynical and grumpy 90% of the time, I love Christmas time. [...]
It’s both of the cats’ birthdays at this time of year – Yoni is 4 and Lila is one. What better way – or excuse – to celebrate than to share a montage of adorable photos. Yoni is still the handsomest cat I know, and as he’s got older he’s mellowed into such a sweetie. [...]

It’s now becoming an annual thing for my family to have a little getaway to Devon. The house – and weather – this year wasn’t as nice as last time, but I did love this dusty old bookcase filled with some unusual titles… More photos soon You might also like… Chamonix weekend wedding Favourite photos [...]
I almost went the entire summer without visiting Olympic Park, but I suppose it was inevitable that I’d find myself there at some point – and then only because Sidekick kindly bought us all tickets for Friday, the penultimate day of the Paralympics. I’m not really into any sport at all, but the Olympic Park [...]
Well well, the area around Maltby Street near Bermondsey has certainly levelled up since the last time we visited. Now christened The Ropewalk, it’s more like a mini food market, with the suppliers in the archways spilling onto the narrow lane to feed the through traffic. From wine bars to coffee, cocktails and local cheeses, [...]
I thought I’d write a little bit about my new camera, the Olympus OM-D – or EM-5; confusingly it has two names but I’ll stick with OM-D. I decided to invest because my dear old E-P1 was getting a bit worse for wear after three years’ loyal service – the battery door had fallen off, [...]
The day before the wedding, we took the cable car up the mountainside to Aiguille du Midi, near Mont Blanc. The ride up was a little hairy and my sister turned green with altitude sickness, but the views made it all worthwhile. Eek – don’t look down You might also like… Chamonix weekend wedding Olympus [...]
We just spent the long weekend in Chamonix, south-east France, for a family wedding. I only previously knew of Chamonix as a ski resort, but turns out it’s just beautiful in the summer: weather in the high twenties, wildflowers everywhere and loads of non-snow-dependent activities. I used the opportunity to take my brand-new camera – [...]
I have major wanderlust at the moment, specifically Japan-lust. Here are twelve reasons why… 1. The way that Tokyo is so hectic, yet so organised, friendly and polite that you feel peaceful in the middle of the chaos. You might also like… Japan – booked! Japan videos Go east… Kawaii Japan goodies
