Rose, Me, Helen and Jon at the top of Jon + Helen’s local ski centre. We were lucky to get a couple of minutes here to catch the shot; there was such a lot of low cloud around that snowboarding and skiing were a real struggle. Happy days.

Rusting away
This shot was taken at Camaret – an old fishing town in Brittany. There were a number of old hulks lying on the beach, decomposing and rusting away. Every tide taking a little bit more away. I wonder how long they’ll be there for …
L’aber Benoit
Enjoying an amazing sunset in Brittany following a crossing over the channel from Plymouth with Ant in Rancote. We took 30 hours to sail 100 miles, with some motoring when the wind got light. It was incredibly warm, and as you can see completely still. Very peaceful.
Settled snow
Rose took this shot in Contamines, the day after Christmas. We’d gone down with Boxy, Naomi, Mikey and Tracey for a week. Half of us got hit by swine flu which wasn’t much fun. The mountains were still awesomely beautiful though.
Epic Alpine biking
Dry, sunny, warm, steep, fast, dusty … Our second Alpine trip.
Huzzah!
Pat, Mags, Dan, Rose, Me. On our way off an Alp, just past the goat village
Les Tournesols
Parked up for the night somewhere in northern France. I like the French word for sunflowers – “Tournesols”. Does what it says on the tin. Sunflowers spend their day twisting their necks around to face the sun, and then when the sun goes down, they hang their heads for a rest, ready for the next day. Over and over and over.
Chamonix
I love this photo. It’s from an epic week Jon and I had in the French Alps – the Chamonix valley. We’d spent the first few days trying to get up the Aiguille Du Midi with massively oversized packs, then decided that wasn’t such a great idea, had a rest in town then went back up the cable car to spend an awesome few days in the Vallée Blanche / Col du Midi.
