There Is Much Hope In Our Primary Schools

Had a wonderful day with Reception/Infants and Years 1/2 at Hope C of E Primary School, near Minsterley in Shropshire. This small rural school is run by Headteacher Kirsty Foulkes and a dedicated team of teachers. It’s a busy place with a real buzz when you walk through the door. For a modest cost, relatives…

Port Sunlight Looking Good

A beautiful bright and crisp February day, so I took a walk through Port Sunlight, the model village created by Lord Lever for his workers from the late C19th. The buildings were looking wonderful in the ‘sunlight’, particularly the Duke of York Cottages as in this shot. This photogenic group of dwellings was opened by…

‘the uttermost part of the earth’

Just finished putting together my latest illustrated talk. Preparation has taken a few years – to make the trips, shoot and edit the images and research the material, but I hope it will be one of the most interesting and diverse presentations yet. In 1519 Magellan became the first European to navigate a wild and…

Excellent Teach Meet Wirral Night

Great night, was amazed how many primary school teachers were at Bidston Ave Primary tonight with some super presentations. So many enthusiastic and passionate folk sharing good practice between schools. My own short presentation was well received and I gave out a few leaflets, so I hope to hear back from some new schools. I even got…

Teach Meet Wirral

Looking forward to giving a short presentation at Wirral’s Teach Meet on Wed 28th Jan at Bidston Avenue Primary, Birkenhead. These are Teaching CPD events held across the UK, where teachers, governors, advisors and consultants attend to share great ideas and their passion to develop learning and teaching in their schools. I hope to make some new…

Penguin Awareness Day

  I hope you all remembered January 20th was PENGUIN AWARENESS DAY, the day we think about the 17 species that live in some of the wildest, remotest and fragile environments in the southern hemisphere. So give some thought to these amazing birds, even though this posting is slightly belated. Hope you like the illustration.

First Off And Last Back On

When I set out to photograph some of the world’s most amazing places, I aim to get there before the hordes of tourists arrive, or stay until they have all gone – I do not take pictures of sightseers!! Several in the audience during a recent talk remarked and laughed at this throw away line,…

Marlborough College Summer School 2015

I am delighted to be part of this wonderful cultural event, presenting my WANDERLUST Course from Mon 3rd to Fri 7th August. You will see thousands of my images from far flung destinations, from the polar regions to…

Happy New Year

So another year has gone. The widely accepted adage is true, ‘the older you get the quicker time passes by’. I hope you all have an exciting, rewarding and prosperous 2015, and look forward to meeting, conversing and working with you again.

Looking Back Over 2014

Sometimes you look back over a year and realise that you achieved more than you thought. That’s what I found reviewing 2014. My first Scottish Tour, which went very well; visiting Spain, Finland, Cyprus and Italy as an EU project member; my first lecture and course at Dillington House in Somerset; and making my first trip to…
