COAST TO COAST
July 2010

We have now finished our RV trip across America. We started in San Francisco on May 11th and finished in Boston on June 7th. The trip was utterly exhausting but totally brilliant, we have so many fantastic memories (and some scarey ones too!). And of course we now have a much larger photo collection. We've also come to the conclusion that we must be hippies at heart, because if it was at all possible we'd have carried on travelling for another 11 months!

Anyway, if you did follow the photo diary of our travels, then we hope you enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed keeping the diary. Hopefully some of the photos will be available on this site soon, if we ever get the time to sort them out.

THE 12 ARTISTS OF CHRISTMAS
December 2009

We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone that came and supported us during our recent art exhibition in The Artists' Attic at Burwash Manor. It was another fantastic opportunity for us and we had more positive comments and sales were pretty good considering. Plus it was a brilliant venue, it's just a real shame it had to finish, but watch this space for future exhibitions.

RED BALLOON CHARITY ART AUCTION

USA ROAD TRIP
May 2009

In May 2009 we travelled over 3000 miles around Western America and took hundreds of photos. We spent 3 weeks on the road in our trusty RV, albeit with knackered brakes which was just a tad worrying along the mountain and coastal roads. Travelling through the states of California, Arizona, Utah and Nevada we were truly spoilt for photographic opportunities, the only problem was finding somewhere to park a 30 foot motorhome.

Utah was by far the most beautiful state, although we were shocked to discover a severe lack of coffee there, apparently because of the predominately Mormon religion in that state, or so we were told by a rebel Utah coffee drinker. But our most memorable experience was driving along a section of Route 66, the silence was deafening and the 100+ degree heat was overwhelming. Plus all the derelict diners and gas stations along the way were a photographers dream. Definitely the highlight for us.

We documented our entire travels on Facebook and have now added the best bits to this site which can be viewed in the ABSTRACTS, LANDSCAPES, TREES AND OTHER sections.

CHRISTMAS IN SCOTLAND
December 2008

We spent Christmas in the Scottish Highlands, an entire week of walking, relaxing, eating and taking photos. It was bliss. The conditions were absolutely perfect, there was no snow but that didn't bother us because it meant we could get out and get lots of stunning landscape shots, Scotland is a very photogenic Country. You can view our Scotland photos in the LANDSCAPES, TREES and OTHER sections.
