Our next trip will be to the Lake District in a few weeks time, staying near Loweswater again, we went a few weeks ago for a long weekend and it rained virtually all the time, so we're off again - with our fingers tightly crossed for better weather and good light! Then we have trips to Arnisdale, Isles of Mull, Skye, Harris, Lewis, Raasay and North Uist planned. More areas may be added later in the year.

I'm also working on a new collection of garden images, my garden work doesn't stop in the winter, it just presents different and very enjoyable challenges. I'm probably a bit mad, but I love cold weather! I love getting wrapped up in layers and layers of clothes, digging out my cashmere socks and pashminas and going out in the cold, it makes me feel very alive!

I hope that you have a happy and healthy 2010 filled with good things!
