A trip to Soufriere – St Lucia…in a terrible car

As I mentioned a few blogs back, I spent a very relaxing weekend with James over in St Lucia last week.  I had gone out to help with a few technical things, talk over a few ideas, meet with the team, and generally touch base with the St Lucia…

Ladies and gentlemen…we have 50 posts!

And boy am I proud of myself 😉 It has been a year since I started these ramblings, and 50 posts later, 600 subscribers, and nearly 10,000 views to date, I am a very happy man.   I adore writing this blog, and I am touched that so many of…

Digging up a gem

So, this weekend I am in St Lucia.  I am staying at the beautiful Morgan Bay resort, and catching up with James - newly appointed as manager out here. He is doing a fantastic job, and things are well and truly being looked after for the time…

Usually we just eat…but tonight we dance.

The other night, Sian and I were sat enjoying our dinner in our usual place.  We were in our usual restaurant, sitting at our usual table, drinking our usual wine, discussing the usual challenges and ideas work has been throwing up.  I looked…

Puppies, Parties and Peeing it down.

Last night was our friend Kate's birthday.  She manages an uber-chic, turbo cool club here in Barbados...so Sian and I stick out like sore thumbs.  Whenever we go there, we have a fabulous time, but it is one of those places people go to party…

Colours colours colours

The other night, Sian and I went down to dinner and we did something we rarely do nowadays.  We took a few photos.  For the fun of it. We weren't shooting for a wedding, or a corporate event, or a client wanting to show off their fancy property...we…

Kickboxing in paradise

As promised, I want to get back to the photography part of my ramblings, and as luck would have it, I had a golden opportunity last night to stretch both my camera and my brain. We went kickboxing. Well, I say we went kickboxing - what I…

Homesick 🙁

Maybe it's because it's our Nephew's birthday this weekend.  Maybe it's because of the Olympics.  Maybe it's because Andy Murray is doing terribly well at Wimbledon and no one at the BBC will shut up about it.  Maybe it's because my machine…

The Littlest Groover

Hello Ferg fans! I shall be a mystery guest blogger today as Ferg has foolishly left his Wordpress account open on his computer, and I have decided to write a little blog whilst he is peacefully snoring away. He is feeling a little under the…

Keith Chegwin is my brother

Really quick post, but had to share the big news. My little brother Thad (short for Thaddaeus Jake Ford. Best. Name. Ever) 'passed out' today.  This means that he is now a fully fledged member of her Majesty's Metropolitan Police force, and…

One of life’s miracles

So, as promised, I have loads and loads and loads to share with you all and have got a bit side tracked with work. (surprised?)  But I think it is fitting to write this blog today, because it is even the more relevant. Oliver has come home. Now,…

Carefree Friday…and a weekend to look forward to 🙂

I have been reading through my past few posts, and have realised that this blog is becoming less and less about photography, and more just a diary of our goings on of late.  I am also aware that pretty much every post I write starts off with…
