North East Love #2 - Saltburn by the Sea

I really love Saltburn... and not just for the secret knitters who have yarn-bombed the pier...









National Pier of the Year 2009






Some bonus pics of the knitting and more, if you are super-keen, on the flickr.

Brighton rocks (Part 2: night time)

A few night-timey/dusky shots taken between watching bands at The Great Escape Fest. Look at those skies! The parasols were on the ceiling in a cute Thai restaurant just round the corner from our apartment. Next installment - a few gratuitous band shots.

Brighton rocks (Part 1: daytime)

Last month I finally, finally visited Brighton for the first time. I love a good traditional seaside resort, so to discover a new one is always a treat. I've been neglecting my little blog of late, so this is the first of a mini series to make up for it. More Brighton highlights soon!

Riding bikes in Blackpool

We made the most of the unseasonably (well, let's be honest, it always is in the North West) hot and sunny weather and hired bikes to explore Blackpool yesterday. With my Canon EOS 400D nestled in my bike basket, I stopped intermittently to try and capture the vivid colours, shadows and silhouettes revealed by the hazy sunshine. Ah... bliss.

Many more (I am bad at self-editing) on the flickr x
