Yesterday saw my wife, Chris, and I on a bike ride just a few miles north of where we live. We cycled along some very quiet country lanes and passed through some typical Dorsetvillages such as Witchampton, Wimborne St Giles, Edmondsham, Horton and Holt. Lunch was munched in the centre of Wimborne St Giles, sat underneath the very decorative village sign. After lunch, we wandered into the beautifully ornate historical village church. The village has been designated a conservation and has some interesting alms houses which were built in 1624. It still surprises me that, when travelling slowly by bike, one can still find ‘little gems’ on one’s own doorstep!
I've had a passion for photography for as long as I can remember and have been running my own photographic business for many years. This also carries over into my personal interests: I love the great outdoors and enjoy nothing better than to be outside taking photos and combining this with my hobbies of cycle touring, camping, backpacking, canoeing and just being out in the wilds, or as the Australians say "beyond the black stump" farther into the outback than the city lights.
