Had a fantastic time photographing (and sampling ) the lovely Katherine’s spring recipes, some of the first for her up and coming cook book. These were all made from forraged plants, predominantly nettles and wild garlic all which contain lots of valuable vitamins and minerals to cleanse and nourish. Katherine’s wonderful recipes bring these ingredients together to make the most wonderful tasting meals. Check out her work
I’m looking forward to working with her, photographing and perhaps tasting for the book again in the near future!

Helmsley circular via Rievaulx Abbey

One of my favourite local walks. Always beautiful but so stunningly atmospheric at this time of year.

I spent a handful of days wandering through Vienna, letting its streets loosen my thoughts and rearrange them in that gentle way only a great city can. Every corner seemed to hum with its own quiet music. What strikes me most about Vienna is how endlessly it transforms — not just in what there is to see or do, but in its very mood, its pulse, its light.

The seasons repaint it completely. One month it’s all warm honeyed glow, the next it’s sharp with winter brightness or softened by autumn’s lull. It’s this constant shifting that keeps the city so irresistible to me: familiar enough to feel like a trusted companion, yet always revealing some new facet, some unexpected glimmer.

Vienna never stands still — and that’s exactly what makes returning to it feel like stepping into a story that’s still being written.
