Just quickly we’re in Wadi Musa ready to visit Petra tomorrow. We visited the Dead Sea this morning and a Jordanian Hospital yesterday. More on that story later.
Damascus

We’re off to a hotel to relax by a pool later this afternoon, it gets really hot here. Yesterday was a long […]
Crossing over to Syria
Today we crossed over from Turkey into Syria and I am writing this in an Internet cafe in the city of Aleppo. We’ve just had dinner (which was filling and tasted great and cost about 2000 Syrian pounds for 9 people, that’s around $40 US including drinks, fantastic). Tomorrow morning there is a walking tour […]
Somewhere in Turkey

Stockholm via Heathrow and Montreal
Patricia and Sam spent a few hours at Heathrow on Sunday morning and we did our best to meet them. Our best nearly wasn’t enough as train times meant we would be arriving an hour after their plane touched down. This was compounded by train delays for us and the plane arriving thirty minutes early. […]
Rosie at the Borderline
Rosie Thomas is a person that you can describe a thousand times and still never fully explain. The first time we saw her was as the support act for Jewel back in 2002. She was fantastic that night and I got to meet her and say hi while she signed her album for me. We […]
Brighton West Pier
We visited Karyn and Brian down in Hove last weekend. On the Monday we went for a walk along the beach from Hove to Brighton and I shot a roll of black and white film, taking shots that I thought illustrated what the beach down here at the south coast is like. This shot of […]
A wet month
The last month has been very wet pretty much country wide. We had flooding outside our house again though only a very small amount got inside this time. The landlord’s father visited to clear out some of the water in front of the house and told us that a week or so ago he was […]
