So the second wave has come, we’ve had a fire break, a circuit breaker, a lockdown, tiers 1-3 (or 0-4 in Scotland) and now it looks like the vaccine has been given the green light just in time for this side of Christmas. Ding, and indeed dong, merrily on high, for some long awaited good news and cheer to finish off a rather bleak year! Oh, I forgot to mention Brexit, or should we just leave it there! Seasons greetings one and all. Be safe, be well, be healthy and stay creative. See you on the other side.

Bam, Boom, Bang!

So as you may or may not know I enjoy making home brew beer. For me, it's a win-win kind of a thang! I get to make beer and drink it, I also get to be creative by making a beer label every time I make beer!

So looks like thinks are starting to hot up again out there. Lockdown looms once again, the second wave is almost upon us and winter is coming! If this isn’t enough to make you get creative then nothing will.

It's that time of year again when the days are getting longer, the temperature is getting warmer (just), the blossom is blossoming, the bulbs are a bulging and the sun is.... sort of shining!

Pressing matters!

Last year my wife got me possibly one of the greatest birthday presents ever! A home brew beer making kit! It didn’t take me long to set everything up and get cracking with my first brew.

An intriguing book on doors

I would photograph ancient, modern, intriguing, mysterious, functional and decorative doors. The knackered, falling apart, recycled has-been varieties. Each one with a story to tell of power and wealth, protection and incarceration. After photographing the doors I would then use the pictures to create my very own coffee table book.
