  • Coasting

    It’s a super, cold crisp morning. Reminded me of this shot I took in St James’ park down in London a couple of years ago…

    I was looking through last years photos and discovered a set from a holiday we had with some friends at the end of November.

    It was the cheapest time of the year to go but we ended up getting an amazing alpine style holiday - Scotland delivered! We stayed in a real nice cottage, Wood fire lit all the time (the temperature dropped to -8ºc at night and leveled at about -2ºc during the day). It was amazing and I’d quite like to be back up there right now - Hacking up the hills (with a thermas of coffee in the bag).

  • Woodland Comfort

    This week I heard about a stunning project by some creative architects in Norway. They are wooden holiday apartments set in woodland, positioned to enjoy the most impressive views of the site. Take a little look at the photo.

    There are many more photos at http://www.jsa.no/photos/Juvet/index.html  The work is showcased by the creators; architects Jenson & Skodvin in Norway.

    We’re going for a different look and feel but, I thought I’d show you this! – I was impressed by the positioning, use of natural light and the photography. Having said that, I’ve just thought of a great addition to our planned hot-tub space.
