The Beginning Of My Adventure On Two Wheels
Monday 21st of October 2024

OCOLOY Week 12
Tuesday 7th of April 2015
This week was a nice change of pace as we went up to see Zoe’s parents for Easter.

Holiday in Malta: Day 1
Tuesday 1st of April 2014
Posts in this series: Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5 Day 6 Day 7 Day 8 On Sunday the 24th of March I left England for a seven day trip to Malta . It was the first proper holiday I’d taken in around 20 years and naturally, since photography is my hobby, I took a camera: my Fuji X-E1 and the Fuji XF 35mm f⁄1.4 lens.
