I love where I live. Here, on the southern edge of the North York Moors National Park, I have access to some of the most beautiful landscapes in England, the UK, the world even. This is photo is of Farndale, taken from the northern end. Isn’t it just gorgeous? But, this view could have been […]

If you have a workout routine in place, then we have to say ‘Well Done!’ Many of us use excuses to avoid doing any kind of fitness in the first place – the weather is too cold, I just don’t have the time – and we barely get started doing anything worthwhile. But if you […]
As a society, it has become too easy for us to throw things away without giving a second thought to the environment. Consumerism has taken over and buying a replacement is often far more convenient that repairing something that is broken.

By Wednesday this week, I had run 10 days in a row. Granted, 5km is the average distance and I certainly am not breaking any speed records. But I am getting up at about 5.30am every day to get a run in. With other things in life, I started to feel tired. Really tired. For the […]
Having a lovely garden to relax in when the weather permits is one of the great joys in life. A nice, open space to unwind of an even with a cold glass of something and maybe eating al fresco. But for us, this is a reality that escapes us. Our back garden is appalling and […]
I don’t know why, but I love photographing doors. Ones with character, like this old door, are a particular favorite. There is something special and a door that I can’t put my finger on. Maybe there’s a metaphor in there. Some sort of sub-conscious meaning to a fondness for doors. A bit like when one door closes, another […]

Fartleks. No, it’s not a rude word and has got nothing to do with any bodily functions. Fartlek is a Swedish term meaning “speed play” and in running terms it’s a form of interval training. Let me explain. I came across Fartlek training while reading a running magazine. It was still early in my running […]
