It’s been too long since my last post, but finally we approach the tail end of winter, and so I thought I’d throw up some photos taken over the winter period.

First up, a trip to Westonbirt (2 shots) with my new Tripod (Manfrotto 190CXPRO3) a fantastic piece of kit, I would thoroughly recommend giving it a try, and the light weight feel is great. There was then a trip to York (3 shots), with Kate taking us on a guided tour of the snickelways, then on to Thixendale.

A beautiful sunny day along the river in Bristol (2 shots), with the SS Great Britain, saw another photo opportunity (again with the tripod).

Finally on to a location I cannot recommend enough, we had an amazing weekend in Stratford, visiting the birthplace of Shakespeare.

Easter 2011 saw a trip to York to visit Jill & Graham, fortunately we saw some good weather and managed to fit in a trip to the beach – the beautiful expanse of sand at Fraisthorpe, complete with Second World War defensive ruins – along with several Frisbee matches.

We also managed to fit in a trip to Rowntree’s park, and a walk along the river, see some of the shots below.
