    Simply Fascinating

    What a way to end this month of colourful images – with perhaps one of the brightest, most colourful shots of all! All credit to the model, of course – our very own Pinpoint!

  • Kennet & Avon Trailers…

    Kennet & Avon Trailers…

    So, at long last we’ve found ourselves back on a canal and as these three trailers show, we had quite the adventure! Stay tuned for more episodes over the coming weeks, as we explore the Kennet & Avon canal…

  • Limping Home

    Limping Home

    Last days are usually calm, quiet days. We always plan to give ourselves no more than 2 hours cruising time. After all, the boat has to be back before 09:30. Given our circumstances, stuck in Reading several hours further west than we had ever intended to be, today is not like a traditional last day,…

  • The Purple Knight

    The Purple Knight

    Here’s the last of this short Harry Potter inspired set of photos, and this one is very colourful. I haven’t changed this in the computer, it was really lit up this way at the Harry Potter Studio tour (one day I might get to go back there and take some more photos).

  • The Stone Guardian

    The Stone Guardian

  • The Goblin

    The Goblin

    This statue comes from the Harry Potter Studio Tour, though I must admit I can’t picture whereabouts in the film series it was used. I’ll just have to re-watch them all again.

  • The Cuckoo’s Call

    The Cuckoo’s Call

    Cuckoo, cuckoo. I awoke early, to the sound of a male cuckoo singing his heart out. There are worse ways to begin a day, that’s for sure. A full English breakfast gave us all the energy we needed to get going, and we were soon off and moving. It wasn’t long before we were swinging…

  • The White Lady

    The White Lady

    This statue is hidden amongst the greenery at A La Ronde, a National Trust property in Devon.
