Alfriston and Cuckmere

Along the Sussex coast is the small village of Alfriston, home to the Alfriston Gallery. Further south is the Cuckmere valley, a beautiful meandering river slightly west of Eastbourne.

Autumn Yorkshire

Away from the city smoke and up into the Yorkshire Dales. Home to some very fine pubs, stunny landscapes and fine friends.

Blown away by Seven Sisters

The Seven Sisters cliffs, photos taken from Birling Gap on a very cold and windy January day.

The gales almost made it difficult to stand at some points, but thankfully the wind was blowing from the sea so there wasn’t a risk of adding to the already infamous reputation of Beachy Head.

I imagine on a sunny day the cliffs can be quite dazzling, but today the angry weather made them stunning enough for me.

A walk to Elgar's house

Edward Elgar lived in a cottage called ‘Brinkwells’ near Fittleworth in West Sussex between 1917 and 1921. My fiancée’s family is from this area and over the Christmas break we took their two dogs for a long walk to counteract all the chocolate and turkey we’d been eating. It was a stunningly clear cold day where you could see for miles.
