After far, far too long away, I'm back here, ready to share my photography again. Like many folk, I found the last few years challenged and quashed my creativity, if I'm honest I've felt totally uninspired. But things are changing and I have wonderful projects bubbling away.

My latest blog - Beltane Dawn.

One of the joys of living in the West Country is the richness of folk-customs that are still played out here each year. We go wassailing to bless cider orchards, follow the Obby Osses in May, join furry dances at midsummer, roll flaming tar barrels down hillsides and sit in fireside ceremonies to re...
