Photos from a visit to RHS Harlow Carr yesterday where there was a Very Hungry Caterpillar trail to hunt for. As always, we spent a long time in the bird hide, where the squirrels were good value! Henry met a large version of the Hungry Caterpillar! Location: RHS Harlow Carr
Last weekend, as a Christmas present from Mrs Pitts, we visited Scarborough and Alex Meek’s Photography studio to take photos of harvest mice. In a two hour session, I took 1758 photos and I’ve whittled these down to the best (in my opinion) 100, which you can see below!
In what is very likely to be the last day out of the year, we returned to Nostell Priory and Parkland for a good breath of fresh air! I do enjoy walking around this chunk of West Yorkshire and it was incredibly peaceful – possibly due to the raging winds that were threatening to cause […]
Quarry Bank Mill (also known as Styal Mill) in Styal, Cheshire, England, is one of the best preserved textile mills of the Industrial Revolution and is now a museum of the cotton industry. Built in 1784, the mill is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building, and inspired the 2013 television series The Mill. This was our second visit […]
We visit the Yorkshire Sculpture Park fairly often – a couple of times a year – simply because not only is it relatively close to us, the exhibits change regularly enough to keep it fresh. There is always something new to see. Location: Yorkshire Sculpture Park, West Bretton, Wakefield, WF4 4LG
This is a return visit to this National Trust property – the first in a good few years. To be honest, there were parts of it that felt brand new to me! The last time we were here was for a friend’s wedding, I believe. Anyway, I took to opportunity to take some close ups […]

Last week we returned to RHS Harlow Carr on another glorious day. I adore the place as I get the opportunity to observe the details on a huge range of flowers. Unfortunately, the bird feeding station was unavailable in an attempt to reduce the amount of vermin, meaning I couldn’t take many wildlife images this […]
Today we had a little trip to RSPB Bempton Cliffs and Bridlington. At the cliffs we saw kittiwakes, razorbills, gannets, guillemots, herring gulls and three puffins. RSPB Bempton Cliffs
