This is me snapped whilst trekking on the Dorset coast, South of England, with my wife Jill in June 2003. Jill is an amateur artist who paints mainly landscape, and I'm interested mainly in landscape photography too, so we spend a good deal of our liesure time outdoors. Jill likes to settle down for long periods while she paints, so we carry enough gear in our packs to be self-sufficient for the whole day.

Most of my poems get written outdoors too, so my subjects tend to be pastoral in nature, sometimes wry comments on human nature, sometimes humorous. Over the coming months I plan to post my photographs, Jill's paintings, my poems and prose pieces, and accounts of anything interesting that crops up in our lives.
