Posts from the category Reviews and random things
A familiar array of “adventures” which I feel fortunate to regularly enjoy.
An unfestive 1st August, barbecuing in a mountain valley, and walking around a lovely lake near Gstaad.
Lots of work stopped me from going out so much, but we did get in a great trip to canton Wallis.
Making more of an effort to publish moving pictures, including one from Dartmoor in June.
Pottering at home, a trip to Scotland and photographing wild flowers in Switzerland.
It seems as though there will be a fair amount of travelling for me this year, both around Switzerland (which is pretty normal for Jo and for me in our time off), and abroad. After visiting England in March, I was back again in April to visit Mum; later in the month, I rode the…
This month’s set of photos is especially random, but that’s the whole point; not just of the ongoing photo series here on my website, but also in my life. The more varied and random, the better for me.
The “random things” posts are primarily about random stuff I’ve seen in the course of a month. The random stuff I saw in December was spread over four countries.
Another year and another fresh start to a series of monthly recaps. (The complete set from 2022 is here.)
A trip to England, a lack of autumn feeling despite the vivid colours and learning how to set a fire.
The gradual arrival of autumn; clouds clinging to the mountains, fresher air and a wider variety of colours in the landscape. My favourite time of the year is coming.
My main photographic focus in June was our trip to Brittany in north-western France.
May is a funny month for me. The countryside is green and lush, with lots of flowers in the meadows and a pleasant mix of cooling rain and warming sunshine, but I often feel a little frustration because the higher mountains are often still covered with slushy snow. This year, I’ve been spending a lot…
It’s been a while since I thought of sharing anything on my website. Things have been very busy, both with work, trips here and there and with getting our balcony ready for summer. Instead of waffling on, I thought I’d try a new approach for a change: a brief visual review of what I got…
As the previous post for April went down well, I thought I’d work backwards and start adding a few new little galleries of photos to show what I’ve been up to each month. Here’s March 2022 in pictures.
Mainly speaking, the month of February is a cold one, when my thoughts start turning to days out and summer temperatures. That being said, I still managed to get out on some trips, with the main goal of getting some exercise.
It seems to stick in my mind that by the time we get to January, we’re well into winter. But the snow and ice often doesn’t arrive where I live until January or February, although that doesn’t preclude it being pretty damned cold from time to time. January this year marked the arrival of my…
