Well here we are...

...half way into May and there is a distinct lack of hill action here.

 

Alan and I are planning to walk the Beacons Way this summer, a couple of days at a time as we are seriously lacking brownie points after last years escapades.

We just can't seem to get it kicked - we are both busy with our prospective businesses and Al is particularly hopeless at answering emails! We'll get the walking kicked off soon and a couple of overnighters this summer. I have a Jungle Hammock to try out!

I have been spending the last month or two re-learning photography and have been bribing my kids with the rare delights of chocolate to pose for me... it's actually starting to come together. I used to illustrate for a living and it's been years since I picked up a pencil or paint brush, but I hooked up with a dear old buddy (Hi Dai), who has turned into an amazing pro photog since we last spoke several years ago. I think I may have found my art again - what a bloody relief, I thought I was destined to spend the rest of my life running a creative business and not doing anything creative.

Have a look at my Flickr folio - just the kids at the moment and screaming 'newbie', but it is keeping me out of trouble!
