A whimsical, close-up portrait of a Herdwick sheep with a distinctively "judgmental" and knowing expression, appearing to peer over a dry-stone wall. The background is a soft-focus landscape of misty green hills and purple heather, rendered in a painterly, textured style with warm, diffused morning light catching the dew on the sheep’s wool.
Lessons from writing in Cumbria:
• The weather changes faster than my drafts
• Sheep are ruthless critics
• Tea is a survival strategy
All part of the creative journey.

The glassy, ink-blue surface of Lake Windermere at dawn, reflecting the jagged, purple-hued silhouette of distant fells. Ethereal morning mist clings to the water's surface, illuminated by a cold, silver light. Cinematic photography with high contrast and sharp textures of rippling water.
"From the depths of Windermere to the peak of Skiddaw.
Every elevation covered.

Climbers on Napes Needle (Great Gable) making their way up to the summit on this classic of Lake District rock climbing. Moody morning with the mist . Had to do a spot of light scrambling up through the crags to get this shot, but certainly worth it.

Proud dad moment – my 12-year-old’s on my new radio show. He was nervous but nailed it, recording links between songs since he’ll be at school when I’m live.
Hear him (and me) on the CRFM app, pick West, Monday 22nd at 1pm UK time.
