Castles punctuate the coastline of Northumberland. The ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle kept catching my eye as we walked the beaches during our recent getaway. Here it is from the north at Newton-by-the-Sea and from the south at Craster.
No holiday to our beautiful British coastline is complete without a boat trip, and no boat trip is complete without some wildlife spotting. Today we went on a Serenity Boat Trip from Seahouses out to the Farne Islands. During the summer months many species of birds come to breed on the Farne Islands. However, by …
I was very fortunate to be invited to participate in a series of transport workshops in Nairobi, Kenya. What a fantastic opportunity! This was my first visit to Kenya and I certainly enjoyed my time in this bustling, energetic and welcoming city. The hotel gardens were my first introduction to local fauna and flora. I was very …

Yesterday I went out to explore some of Edinburgh’s less well-known sights. – down Calton Street and Market Street. However, it was only as I reviewed my shots that I suddenly realised how prominent arches are around the City. …

The rest of us popped along for a couple of hours to see the array of vintage vehicles on show. There was everything from steam engines and tractors to motorbikes and military vehicles. Here are a few …
