15 Queen Street, Colchester

Hi, I know I am not brilliant with keeping my blog up to date, it’s something I need to spend more time on! I just wanted to give the people at 15, Queen Street a bit of a shout out. If you don’t know anything about them then you should check out their website or call into their office and meet the lovely Alex Davis who lives on the front desk and will happily give you a tour and tell you a little about what they do. Here is their website: http://www.15queenstreet.org/about

If you are a creative person in your spare time or have turned your hand to starting your own business then they can be a great resource for you. They have lots of different clubs and work shops, get together’s, talks and meet ups where you can mingle and mix with other creatives, pick their brains, share a beer or two and swap details.

If you join as I have as a Flexi member you pay just £15 p/month which entitles you to attend their once a month get together, rental of a room, the opportunity to connect and build relationships with the other members. I went a long yesterday to have my picture taken, and talk about my Boudoir Photography http://boudoirvous.co.uk/ it was windy and rainy so my hair looks like I have a comb over. I really do not like being the other side of the Camera but Alex was very patient with me.

A Sunday Walk In September

All this week I have been made busy taking pictures for other people. Today I had a day off and it was so nice to take a wander over the fields near where I live and take pictures of one of my favourite things…nature. I only took one lens as I find sometimes it is best to limit myself to just using one, it restricts me but this can be a good thing. It makes me really think about the lens and using it to the max. I love my 100mm, it’s one of my best. I make myself stop mid walk and just look, look until I see what is there right in front of me. To see the rest of the pics I took on my walk please go to – http://www.pbase.com/wakelin/a_sunday_walk

Climbing Scarfell Pike the tallest mountain in England

At the weekend a group of us packed ourselves up and off in the camper van heading for Wasdale head in the heart of the Lake District. Our mission was to climb Scarfell, the youngest of the group twelve the oldest forty four, the most unfit well that was debatable. Here are a few pics, the rest will follow in between work commitments and playing taxi over the Easter Hols…
