A beautiful walk in Burnham Beeches

Just a quickie really to let those of you who aren’t in South Bucks know about Burnham Beeches, one of the loveliest, most family-friendly spots for woodland walking I’ve come across around these ‘ere parts. The image above was taken by me, no filters or funny tricky photoshop stuff. This is really what it looks […]
A day at Waddesdon with the kids

I was up at Waddesdon Manor a few weeks ago and was so pleased with my photo I thought I’d share it! There’s always so much fun stuff going on at the Manor (did you make it to Feast on the weekend?) but actually the day I came with the kids we just hung out […]

Fancy a walk then?
