Champagne Afternoon Tea-Time & Kensington Gardens
Here are some photographs which were taken during an indulgent & leisurely afternoon, spent with a wonderful friend. We enjoyed champagne afternoon tea followed by a stroll around the beautiful Kensington Gardens and I couldn’t resist capturing some of the sights! Delicious food, bright sunshine & great company!

Birthday Cakes & Anna Masks
What could be better than a birthday party? Maybe two birthday partys! How about if at one birthday party the Birthday Girl’s face is presented on fabulous masks! And then maybe at the other party the Birthday Boy’s face could appear on the birthday cake. And we could all knock back cocktails and eat massive …

A Balloon Beside the Seaside
What could be better than a day on the beach in the sunshine? How about a day on the beach and a trip in a giant helium balloon! I was missing Dorset and so decided to briefly return, and this time the seaside destination was Bournemouth. Now Bournemouth may have a reputation for being a …

Escape to the Country (Starring Elphie)
I decided that it was time to briefly leave the noise and general chaos of my London life behind and seek some solace and relaxation in the Hertfordshire countryside. So with Elphie the Dog as my tour guide, I spent a peaceful Saturday afternoon exploring and photographing the sights of Quickswood. Thank you …
Wimbledon
It’s that time of year again, so get the Pimm’s and the strawberries & cream ready as Wimbledon is in full swing! 21 years ago I first dreamed of making it to the Centre Court and now I have finally been there!! Ok, so I had planned to be playing on the court rather than …
Brighton Pier
It’s another cold, windy and rainy summer’s afternoon, and I am really missing the sunshine! So to cheer myself up a bit I have decided to blog about happier times, about a time when the sun shone and Brighton Pier beckoned. I am so nostalgic for those days (Monday afternoon to be precise!) that I …
