Great to indulge my love of flowers on this job for Marshwood Manor for their new wedding venue, must say it's a great party space too (not that I've partied in it... yet!) :)

Just as the Summer starts my latest client has just come onto the market so plenty of availability when most places will be fully booked by now !

French do not have Common Law, Royalty nor the word ‘entitlement’.
Does this mean Brits feel more entitled to freedom than the rest of us ?
A 5 minutes read.

It’s a weird word ’entitlement’, it does not exist in French. Does it mean Brits feel more entitled? A frog’s perspective on freedom for foreigners in her UK home in 2018.

Hembury Mill in Askerswell is certainly one of the most characterful cottage I have photographed, complete with water wheel inside the cottage (behind glass!) and outside. Lovely outside garden space as well.
And as always Heather at Correling Web Design has done a great job with the website.

Very happy that my Golden Cliffs found a very good home at Melplash Show in West Bay today, a view from a bath...
(90 x 60 cm, on aluminium so can go in a bathroom, even outside though I have not tried that!).

Relaxing colours, thoughts of warmth and Summer.
Yet these are cliffs we are looking at, in their stunning majesty, and their underlying threat.
Giant masters of the beach that cannot be controlled by man. We love them for their seemingly strong yet frail beauty, loathe them if they tempted a loved one irremediably, study them for the millennia they share with the sea, and for all to admire, if they so wish.
There only remains respect for nature.

Love it when web designers use images really big, especially for food. Another great site from Heather at Correling for Pickled Ginger restaurant in Bridport

http://pickledgingerbridport.co.uk

Pickled Ginger in Bridport is the small restaurant with the BIG reputation. Open for breakfast, lunch and evening dining in Bridport town centre.

Landing page of Bridport Cottages website looking rather nice...
Thanks Correling Ltd for using some of my images and your continued recommendations for your clients.
(Not all images on the website are mine, but the landing page sure is 'my' West Bay!).

Come and see us tomorrow if you're in Bridport, our first local market.
Check our Nataviva page to see what we'll have on the stand.
(I'll have a few mounted photographs too)
A demain ? :)

Tea towels printed, washed, ironed, folded and ready to go to market on Saturday!
Bridport please give us all a bit of sunshine this week end.
Come and say bonjour West Dorsetters :)

If you're in Bridport, Pickled Ginger is a lovely restaurant hiding behind the scaffoldings (where Lula used to be). Worth a visit.

Chef Chris loves fish, and most of the meals are gluten free (working on 100% with a new batter for the fish and chips).

As always, fun to photograph food, and kitchen in action!

09/03/2017

Restaurant in the heart of Bridport, a lot of fish ( and 99% of dishes are Gluten free)

Artist Aviva Halter and I have started a new partnership: Nataviva. Linocut prints on paper -wall art and cards- and on material -cushions and tea towels. Exciting times!
Like our page to keep informed on what we are up to in the coming year :)

Under the midday sun

30/10/2016

It's been a strange time since July. Unsettling. There seems to be clouds surrounding me, the sun wants to come out but it's hidden away by millions of droplets of information, misinformation, negotiations, empty statements. I am merely one of millions of little pawns that live here but were born there. Negotatiors can't show their cards, tell us about the next move. [ 168 more words ]

British people don’t do revolution, am always told. I’ve been talking for years, to the point of boring my friends senseless, about the political spectrum in the UK forever lurching to the right and warning that if ‘we’ continue in this direction, it will lead to a revolution. But British people don’t do revolution, I was told, again and again. And the UK is not France. [ 3156 more words. ]

British people don’t do revolution, have been told for years. Well, this sure feels like a revolution, in an English kind of way. Theresa May maybe, but what next?

Blast from the past! An old pic of mine, but gorgeous Beaminster hasn't changed in 7 years or so :)
Buckham Fair is a very special event that raises thousands of pounds for great local causes.

Beaminster is surrounded by hills where ancient trackways & burial mounds suggest human activity for over 3000 years

Marshwood Manor Lodge has been furnished beautifully, the attention to detail made it quite a pleasure to photograph. And since it's only recently been finished, there are spaces available for the Summer. Not for long I imagine...

Clearly this little chap thought it was hilarious I should photograph him for Graston Farm Cottages :)

What a great excuse the Queen was for a fun weekend in the village. Smiles all round, laughs, food, music, (a bit of alcohol) and very silly outfits.

The bunting’s gone soggy and there is silence in the streets. Just a few days ago, the village was alive with energy, as the Queen of England’s 90th birthday proved the perfect excuse f…

It was lucky to have gorgeous little guests and very cute lambs when I photographed Graston Farm Cottages this month :)

We are just about at the end of the season for feeding lambs although our little flock are still here on the farm. Recently Arthur and William came to stay with their parents and grandma, and helped Andrew with feeding. They also helped us to give the lambs names! Billie, Bobbie, Bernie and Belle. S...

It's not only photos from me but words too this week on A Dorset Year! Was lovely writing again.
And when Maddie asked me to give you links to my photography microsites, well, I couldn't refuse could I ?

It’s been fun working with Maddie on ‘A Dorset Year’ and at times a bit unexpected. One day she wants to talk about naughty 4x4s, next it’s a Day at the Races when I managed…

Something a bit different... from a weekend away with girlfriends in Pembrokeshire, and Skomer island. Magical place.
