A good weekend based out of Swanage in Dorset. On the Saturday, we attended one of the excellent Reptile Rambles at the RSPB’s Arne reserve (seeing Smooth Snake, Adder, Sand Lizard, Slow Worm and Common Lizard). On the Sunday, Jeremy and Zac enjoyed a couple of dives under Swanage Pier – not great visibility but… Continue reading 22nd – 24th May

11th May

An overnight stay in London, taking in a gig at the iconic Ronnie Scotts Jazz Club (this time the incredible Pat Martino).


8th – 10th May

An excellent motorcycling weekend Wales. The biking in earnest started in the Wye Valley, staying in Tintern on the Friday night. Saturday took in Monmouth, the back road to Abergavenny followed by the back road to Brecon in rain and showers. After that, the weather improved for the stint to Llandovery. After that, some brilliant… Continue reading 8th – 10th May


3rd May

 Jeremy and Zac trek the Wiltshire Wildlife Trust’s sponsorship flagship the Sarsens Trail (the Neolithic marathon) from Avebury to Bulford near Stonehenge. It was a tough 26 mile walk in rain, sun and thunder and lightning. Jeremy later lost both big toe nails thanks to this!

A week in Florida, driving north from Miami to stopover in West Palm Beach for a night before a 6 night stay at Orlando’s Floridays Resort.

26th July – 2nd August

An excellent week onboard the Turks & Caicos Aggressor visiting Grace Bay, North Point, West Caicos and French Cay.

A weekend visit to the Blue Planet Aquarium for a unique dive “in the tank” with a motley collection of sharks. On Sunday we visited nearby Chester Zoo.


5th – 18th April

Twelve days of diving, underwater photography and a general sense of wellbeing on the Maldivian island of Bandos. Somewhat unbelievably for us, it’s our third visit to the same place! During this visit, Zac got his first diving experiences following his Junior Open Water qualification and really enjoyed it. I was able to photograph him… Continue reading 5th – 18th April





7th – 8th March

A visit to Globe Cottage in Weymouth, with a trip to Swanage, Durlston and Arne on the Sunday. A nice sighting of a pair of adders on the heathland.

A walk from Bournemouth to Sandbanks and back – a chance to “blow the cobwebs” and take a few “snapshots.”

A visit to Jersey staying at Gorey with plans made to dive in Sark with friend and fellow underwater photographer Kirk Truscott. Managed a single day diving in Sark rather than the two that were planned thanks to poor weather. Good fun nonetheless!
