The Lakes

On our way up to family visit in Scotland, we love driving via the Lakes. And we usually stop for a walk with Henry. Or to see Beatrix Potter’s garden and house, Hill Top. What another wonderful corner of the world this peaceful little village of Near Sawrey is. Driving through the Lakes is always the best part of our trip up North.

Blockley and Upper Slaughter

Some pictures for you from a very early Spring walk around Blockley and Upper Slaughter. There will be many more images from these places as I absolutely love coming to this part of the Cotswolds.

International Photographer of the Year 2014 / Finalist

I have a fondness for flower seeds. And growing anything from seeds. It has always inspired me how from a tiny seed such beautiful and tasteful vegetables can grow.

When we moved to our current home, an unknown garden welcomed where I kept discovering whatever it had to offer. It did offer a lot of flowers and seeds and so was born my little project back then. Which later gifted me with a Finalist title in the International Garden Photographer of the Year competition in 2014. So here you have the images and some more of the book they ended up in. And me with my images at the Kew Gardens exhibition.
