About Me

Firstly, please take a look at some of my pics and let me know some opinions. I hope to keep my blog up to date and add lots of photos, especially over those cold wintry days . This site is all pretty new to me and I am still struggling to find my way around it. I hope I can add to the very varied my space members already on here and hopefully share with some like minded people.I am based in Devon, South West England, born and bred in this neck of the woods. I love Devon, its has a dreamy mixture of coast and moorland, river valleys and lonely hills. As much as I love my homeland, I always love to travel. Ireland fills my requirements for holidays and its a great place to visit. One of my ambitions would be to return to Hawaii, one day.I am currently working on my horse racing photography around the south west.

My Interests

Horse racing, especially National Hunt, photography, nature, Dartmoor, reading, films and sports.

I'd like to meet:

Most of the people I would like to have met are long gone................ Doris Lindner, Elvis Presley, John Wayne, Marilyn Munroe and William Crossing.Of those who live, I am happy to meet most people, some of the best have no fame.
