Easter Sunday
A cycle ride in Dorset on Easter Sunday to hunt out the spirit of a place.
War damage
War damage on the Victoria and Albert Museum reminds us how fragile our world is. Any of us could become refugees.
St Giles Bicknacre
On a country lane in Essex a few miles south east of Chelmsford a lych gate stands amongst the trees. Behind the lych gate is an almost uniform set of gravestones which reveal a tragic story, but also a story of passion and devoted caring.
Good Friday
At Easter 2023 I spent a few days cycling in Dorset, exploring a few of my favourite places in the south of the county. Here is the first of a short series of articles on the each of the rides. On Good Friday I headed out east to explore some of the county’s literary and artistic associations.
Greenwich
A visit to Greenwich to explore some of its lesser know landmarks

New Year’s Day
I cycle; I stop; I photograph. A New Year’s Day ride to the corner of a quiet churchyard.
