This morning was battery changing duty on Lucies Toot Toot cars. We currently have 19 as a few of them were not recoverable ☹️

Here she is making sure I’ve lined them up straight enough.

Girls on hands and knees checking the straightness of her toys lined up

A walk around Torremolinos old town.

A short walk to get some food

Sunrise and now sunset.

Early morning flight outa here.

Lets set sail

Random walks in the dunes are my favourite

Some highlights from Lucie’s birthday.

She enjoyed her flashing toys and watching the characters.

And then we went to the beach for a little bit while the sun was setting.

She loved every moment.

Another day another trail to walk.

This one is a long one.

With lots of flowers.

Huge daisies.

And some people fishing.

I love nature.

Even with some man made improvements.

And nice sunshine

Waiting to deliver

Baa

Editing old photos is my meditation.

Another one from our walk yesterday.

This is Belmount Tower which dates from around 1750. Used as a gateway to Belton house and also an observatory.

A long walk was needed this morning. So off we went.

Into the woods and countryside.

To find lots of flowers

And lush fields.

I love the U.K.

Went for a walk and saw some sheep 🐑

Stop looking at me swan

V shadows

I wonder if my photos are too boring. But I just liked the light

Parked Up

Which way?

Bit cold for ice cream still

The only thing about three day events is I have to edit like crazy! Congratulations Jasmin Wong #markbatesnationals23

It’s time

Safe and secure #mbmar

I always take a picture of this thing every time I see it.

Just heading up

Managed to grab one in the crap light yesterday at Lincoln Cathedral

Having a spot of tea

The perfect shadow placement

What’s on the menu?

Just Arrived

No idea why but I just decided I was going to shoot black and white today. I kind of like it.

She loves her bear, and her shoes!

Winter sun at the Cathedral

Not the result we wanted but a great experience taking my boy to his first game are the Emirates.

Another cold morning with lots of frost. 🥶

First stop of the day

Woodland Walk

I needed some time out this afternoon, so went for a walk in the woods with my trusty x100v. I’ve never been one for woodland photography, but love a nice walk in nature. I tried to take a range of photos as the colours are still hanging on from autumn, but judging by the images that actually came out, you would think I had been mushroom hunting.

A very quick visit to Nottingham Christmas market. It was really busy and far too stressful punching a wheelchair around

Wheel and Christmas tree

A lone shell

Too cold for spiders

Refections

Bit frosty out 🥶

Just a bench

You drip

We had a very relaxing day today. Mainly because the weather was really rubbish but Lucie had a big seizure and wasn’t herself for most of the afternoon.

Very weird being able to walk the dog in a tee shirt whilst surrounded by fallen leaves but enjoyable.

I love this time of year.

A few iPhone snaps from Lillie’s match last night. Raised more than £3000 for Birmingham Children’s Hospital.

Editing some old ‘non keepers’ to see what I find.

I wish I was this happy

It’s happening!

Like father, like son

Pushing them up

Out the darkness

Sheringham Beach

Sheringham, Norfolk

Sunrise

Lucie woke us up at a ridiculous time this morning, but instead of wallowing in our tiredness we decided to get up and watch the sunrise.

What could have been a terrible sleep deprived morning turned into one of the most awe inspiring experiences I have had for a while.

There was just myself, my wife and Lucie on the sea front, with nothing to hear but the calm waves.

Something we may never do again, but worth the extra effort needed.

Sunrise at the beach huts

Shaken

Few milkshake treats 🥤

Theres something about flowers and bees that speak to me.

Usually buzzzzzzzzz I guess.

Yesterday was long run day so I needed to stretch my legs with a long walk. Of course I took some pictures along the way with my x100v.

And one for @maique

Take a seat

Rutland Water In The Sun

Another walk around Rutland again today. Enjoying the boats and water sports

Small Walk At Rutland

It was a bit blustery and choppy out on the water, but an enjoyable hour walk with the pooch. Headed to the south shore and went a bit further south on the path until we got to the boat harbour.

I wish I had taken a longer lens and managed to get a better shot of the boats, but this way is well worth another visit in the near future. Also a bit easer to shoot with it not being so sunny and reflecting off the water.

All shot on x100v.

Suck it up

Ninja Warrior

We went to a Ninja Warrior experience park yesterday in Sheffield. It’s safe to say the kids were absolutely knackered at the end but we had loads of fun.

It’s for bigger children to be honest otherwise it’s like any other inflatable park. However James managed to do loads of the course trials.

Didn’t quite make it up the wall though ☹️
