Behind the scenes

February 5, 2016 ~ Wolves in London ~ 4 Comments

I was sorting through some of the gazillion photos on my laptop this morning and I thought it might amuse you to see some of the behind the scenes "help" I get from the older of my two eager assistants when I'm taking photos for this blog or instagram. The younger assistant, actually, is always … Continue reading Behind the scenes

2016: a year with my camera

January 8, 2016January 8, 2016 ~ Wolves in London ~ 5 Comments

Just dropping by to tell you about an awesome new project I am doing in 2016: taking part in a (free!) online photography course for the whole of the year, called A Year with my Camera and run by Emma Davies. Every Thursday, the participants get an email from Emma with some tips and advice … Continue reading 2016: a year with my camera

Cabbage flower, deconstructed

January 7, 2016January 4, 2016 ~ Wolves in London ~ 1 Comment

No, not the name of the winning dish in a Masterchef final, but rather my growing obsession with endlessly photographing lovely dead crap. There is a new market stall at the end of our road selling flowers on Saturdays and Sundays for pretty bargainous prices and I just can't resist when I walk by. I … Continue reading Cabbage flower, deconstructed

Leaf love

November 6, 2015 ~ Wolves in London ~ 9 Comments

God, but this endless rain is grim, isn't it? I've been rained in for the past three days; I really need to invest in some proper waterproof clothing and shoes this year. (A lament that I make every November and then fail to act on in any way. This year, surely, will be the year … Continue reading Leaf love

Defining your Signature Style: a few photos

January 8, 2015January 4, 2015 ~ Wolves in London ~ 4 Comments

When I first moved from print to online journalism about, oooh, 15 years ago now, everyone was abuzz with the “immediacy of the web.” Print is dead, they raved. (Okay, I might have raved a little bit as well…) Gone are the days of waiting to hear the news the day after it happens in … Continue reading Defining your Signature Style: a few photos

Photographing trees

October 2, 2014 ~ Wolves in London ~ 7 Comments

Earlier this year I resolved to spend lots of time this summer photographing (and identifying) trees for my Instagram feed. (See A love of trees for more.) Now, if you follow me on instagram you can't fail to have been struck by a simple fact: you haven't remotely been spammed with hundreds and hundreds of … Continue reading Photographing trees

On the mantel: September

September 23, 2014September 22, 2014 ~ Wolves in London ~ 15 Comments

You may recall that our house is in a near permanent state of being done upness. (I’m pretty sure that’s the official term that all property developers / architects / interior designers use…) We have little flurries of activity here and there, but fundamentally progress is slooooow. The last few weeks, however, have been one … Continue reading On the mantel: September

Garden moodboard: September

September 8, 2014September 8, 2014 ~ Wolves in London ~ 1 Comment

It's quite possible, looking at this month's moodboard, that my love for white flowers might be getting a little out-of-hand. But what white flowers they are! Along the bottom row there is a white cosmos ('Purity'), with a small daisyish flower next to it, followed by Mexican fleabane (Erigeron karvinskianus, a current obsession of mine). … Continue reading Garden moodboard: September

August break 2014: the last week

September 1, 2014September 1, 2014 ~ Wolves in London ~ 1 Comment

So, a whole month has passed, just like that. *Clicks fingers* Much as I love participating in projects like the August break, or my monthly garden moodboards, I am often put off by the side effect of an increasing awareness of time passing. You start out thinking, oh yes, a photo a day for August, … Continue reading August break 2014: the last week

August break 2014: week three

August 24, 2014August 24, 2014 ~ Wolves in London ~ 2 Comments

Well, another week over and another weekend reached. Tick, result, breathe... It's started to feel a bit like that as I've been battling not only toddler daytime meltdowns but toddler and baby lack-of-nighttime-sleeping this week. I just keep trying to remind myself that one day I will look back on this time and remember only … Continue reading August break 2014: week three

A few photos for my grid of the absolutely gorgeous aquamarine sea - pine trees combo from Mallorca last week.
The mantelpiece a few weeks back, basking in some Spring sunshine. This is just my very favourite time of year…
If you’ve followed me for a while, you may be remember me mentioning that I really hate driving. It makes me feel super anxious, especially with the kids in the car, and living in London definitely doesn’t help. I’ve been meaning to crack my fear for years now but never quite managed, but I’m determined to try and make some progress this year (it can be a huuuge pain always schlepping about with three kids on a bus).
Oh but I just love Spring. So happy to see these beauties back again this year (Narcissus ‘Bridal Crown’)…
