LAND OF THE RISING SUN

A recent trip to Japan has resulted in some wonderful memories and plenty of great images. A real adventure with up's and down's but a great trip and an amazing country.

A great destination to photograph with it's diverse variety of landscapes, people and culture. We started our trip in Hokkaido in Northern Japan. A beautiful land of mountains and nature, we then caught the super fast bullet train and ventured down to Tokyo followed by the old capital of Kyoto. My photo journal will be soon available on my website so you can get a taste of the adventure.

OLD TO NEW

Just a really quick post to show how with a little time, passion and creative flair, you can turn old, tired furniture into something really rather nice! Just a week ago this chair was being sold for a few pounds and looked rather sorry for itself. After we decided on a colour scheme, Anne worked her magic and produced this!

Sanded, painted, re-covered and a stylish patterned fabric head cover and matching cushion created to finish it off. Well done Anne, nice job.

Just a few hours now until we fly to Japan. Looking forward to it!
