The Knife Angel sculpture, made from over 100,000 seized blades, was specifically created to highlight the negative effects of violent behaviour whilst solidifying our critical need for social change. Not only does the Angel act as a catalyst for turning the tide on violent and aggressive behaviour, but it is also acts as a beautiful …
A couple of years ago, I went to Warwick Castle for the day. I love visiting historical places and I can add Warwick Castle as one of the best places to visit. You’ll find the Peacock Gardens with their beautifully manicured lawns and resident peacocks wandering around. The Conservatory Tearoom overlooking the fountain. Then, follow …
Last week, I published ‘Another Day, Another Walk’ and this week I am publishing ‘Something old, something new.’ The same walk a few months apart and this time I walked further and took the long way back home. On my walks around the town, I may take the same or similar photos, but I always …
I wrote about Summer Leys Nature Reserve a couple of months ago, but I actually went there for the first time in 2019. In June, 2022, I went back and enjoyed another walk there – this time taking photos of the animals and birds that use the reserve as their home. We’ll get to the …
Another lovely spot to take a walk in Northamptonshire if you are ever here, is Summer Leys Nature Reserve. An old gravel pit which has been transformed into a nature reserve, Summer Leys takes about an hour to walk around unless, like me, you stop and take lots of photographs, then it will take a …
I have lots of photos from places I have visited in the past and today I was reminded of this lovely pocket park known as Hunsbury Hill Park. According to the local government website, this park formed part of an Iron Age hill fort which I didn’t realise until I read it today! – You …
I took so many photographs when I visited Hitchin Lavender fields last year, but I’d like to share (what I think) are the best ones. If you are ever in the area, I recommend a trip to this lovely spot!
Lavender is another favourite flower of mine, so I was really excited when I found Hitchin Lavender – a family-run farm specialising in the cultivation of this beautiful flower. I visited in July last year and while there was lots of lavender, if you visit later in the year, there will be even more! The …
On a Saturday afternoon last year, I went to see the bluebells at Everdon Stubbs with my friends. Everdon Stubbs is one of the few remaining ancient woodlands in Northamptonshire and it’s a beautiful and peaceful place to wander around with your camera. There are many varieties of trees and flowers including the lovely bluebells …
Delapre Abbey is a lovely place to visit if you are ever in Northampton. With a history spanning over 900 years, the abbey itself sure has an interesting story or two to tell. If you want to read more about this, go to Delapre Abbey‘s official website. The surrounding park is a popular place for …
When you think of Blackpool, it might conjure up images of a busy seaside resort with plenty of people enjoying their time there. Whether that’s at the Pleasure Beach or having fun in the amusement arcades – it’s a busy place. But, on a chilly May day last year, I found a more serene town …
Last May, I took a trip to Fleetwood with my sister and my niece. One day, we went to Lytham St Annes and we walked on the beach. As well as keeping my little 4 year old niece amused, we made it our mission to walk out to the sea. As we walk away from …
