House in Greenwich by Zac Monro Architects





Here are a few images taken before Christmas of an amazing project in Greenwich, south-east London, designed by Zac Monro Architects. It's a converted terraced house, which has been opened-up by removing walls and floors to create a jaw-dropping living/eating/cooking space at its heart.

a10 magazine features Falmouth School by Urban Salon

Tip-top European architecture magazine a10 has featured Urban Salon's work at Falmouth School in its latest issue. Again, more images that make it hard for me to keep on insisting that it rained horizontally for almost the entire day... I did get wet, honest!

Fabulous food and drink in Folkestone

Eat and smoke


Mermaid Restaurant

La Gruta Restaurnt (sic)

I thought I'd add a couple of gratuitous additional Folkestone images, taken last year during my cultural exploration with the Knit Nurse. They all have the theme of food - I wonder what was on my mind at the time?

All together now, I do like to be beside the seaside! 

Taken with the Fuji TX-1 (xpan).

Falmouth School by Urban Salon Architects makes cover of Timber in Construction magazine

On-going media coverage of Falmouth School's new design and technology block, designed by Urban Salon Architects, has included the cover feature of Timber in Construction magazine. It's hard to believe that the day was almost entirely torrential rain when I took the photo!

Folkestone, Marine Parade


Included for visitors from the Knit Nurse Chronicles (welcome!!!), here's a picture of the faded Marine Parade in Folkestone, Kent, taken during the rather wonderful art triennial last year.

Yo! Sushi Cabot Circus, Bristol, by Platform Group


I've recently photographed the vibrant new Yo! Sushi, located at the heart of Bristol's mammoth new Cabot Circus shopping centre. Designed by Platform Group, the interior features a colourful lighting scheme inspired by the neon lights of downtown Tokyo.

From Lewes to Southease

View towards Newhaven


Approach to Firle

With my good friend, journalist and knitter extraordinaire Helena to East Sussex for a superb January walk. Beginning at Lewes, we followed the path through curvaceous chalk downland to Glynde (home of the opera house). We stopped off at the Ram Inn, Firle for a delicious doorstep sarnie, before heaving ourselves steeply uphill to join the South Downs Way. Views towards Newhaven, of the sea and setting sun, were simply spectacular. Then with the light rapidly fading, we plunged down the steep slope to lonely Southease station. 

Photographs taken with the Sigma DP1, which continues to amaze.
