Hoy it Ere


Many thanks to Heather and Howard Slights for the loan of their boat back in October. With the retouching of the War and Peace images underway I decided that we could do a reckie trip to France to do some test images for book three. Heather and Howard have their boat moored in a town called called Gravelines. We stayed on the boat for three days back in October acting a base to check images, maps, talk, and plan our next move.

Wardens Bay


I have made several visits to Warden's Bay in October and November this year. The first trip was a scouting mission with Barry Legg down the dangerous eroded cliffs to discover the array of concrete bunkers that have over time slipped down the cliffs and ended up on the beach. I find the beach a fairly beautiful place. There is a pilgrimage of fossil hunters to this beach and it is truly a place of constant change and wonderment. One of the bunkers is completely on one side and the bottom chamber completely submerged in water. 

Hello Broadstairs


Well it has been a long time since I updated this blog but know I have the opportunity to bring my news fully update. Probably the most thing to happen over the past months is that I have moved from Margate to Broadstairs. This has enabled me to set up a base to work from and organise all the technology and books. The main objectives for this winter have been to set up the studio and go to France to make some test images for the new book project.
