The arrival of snowdrops fuels a deep sense of relief - signalling the subtle shift in seasons as we approach the end of winter.
Did you know snowdrops are not native to the UK?

What your favourite sight at this time of year?

Love this selection of questions from some of my favourite podcasts of some inspiring photographers from around the world (How did I sneak in there??)
Angela Nicholson does a fantastic job with these podcasts and they are well worth a listen.

Oof that’s a lot to deal with. Fingers crossed for you. I’m feeling sorry for myself after a two hour operation on my ankle!
2025 is the year of recovery it seems.

When days are challenging it’s nice to have something beautiful to look at. Even if it is a bit brassic!
