England’s landscape and landmarks as they have never been seen before
Over the years I’ve been fortunate that quite a few of my photographs have appeared in This England and Evergreen. All of these images have been in colour ranging from my older colour slides (from cameras that took rolls of film), right up to the files from my modern digital camera.
A lot of my early photography was done with black and white film that required, firstly developing the negatives, and then printing them — and what a messy business that could be! But now it’s perfectly possible to produce black and white images from a modern digital camera. You don’t need a darkroom equipped with a sink, an enlarger and trays of magical liquids that make prints appear out of thin air — just a computer or laptop.

Looking for a holiday cottage for a quiet week in the Yorkshire Dales was proving a vexing experience.
Elihu Burritt: An American's View Of Victorian England
It is always interesting to read what others think of us. In recent years we have had Bill Bryson giving us his thought-provoking views on England and the English, but a century and a half ago one of his compatriots did the same thing, albeit for a specific area of the country.

All The Fun Of The Fair
There is nothing quite like the joy of a brightly painted, brilliantly lit English fair with excited children grasping their candyfloss sticks and toffee apples, young men trying to win a prize at the darts stall and impress their girlfriends by handing them a giant cuddly toy and dads sportingly agreeing to take a turn on the big wheel even though they are still feeling the effects of a heavy lunch. Yes, we just love all the fun of the fair.
Sticky Toffee Cartmel
Visitors to the Lake District can be crudely classified into two broad types: there are the fell walkers, climbers, canoeists, sailors and other outdoor enthusiasts, and then there are the gentler souls who follow the Wordsworth trail, who haunt tea shops, go on shopping crawls and crowd onto steam trains and lake cruises. And there’s nothing wrong with either of these types…
Walking The South Downs Way
My daughter was the catalyst for my passion for walking after I retired and moved to West Sussex from Somerset to be near her and my two sons. After the normal settling in process I was feeling restless and bored, wondering what to do with my new freedom, and with a niggling guilt that “I should be doing something”. She showed me an article in a magazine about a local ramblers group, saying “You would love this, Mum!”
The Roads of Old England
Our motorway system means that today we think little of embarking on a journey across the country, confidently expecting to reach our destination the same day. Our ancestors would have taken weeks to complete such a trip, in considerable discomfort. Off the motorways, our roads follow routes laid down hundreds of years ago, and alongside them are fascinating objects which survive to tell the story of road development.
