Photos by Patrick Holderness

Raleigh Parkway Folding Bike

Brighton based photographer Patrick Holderness captures friendship perfectly. Carefree, easy and fun. With the sun shining, an outdoor space and people to share time with sums up everything that makes my heart thump with happiness. I was watching on TED the other day how people who surround themselves within a community, friendship and family are guaranteed a longer, healthier and happier life. 

I have been a lousy friend over the last 12months and looking at Patrick's photos it reminds me I need to hop on a train or bike and visit those who I adore and love. Life gets so busy sometimes and sacraficing those dear to us happens so easily. Well my heart is saying Ms Talbot sort it out... If I am close to you and you're reading this post I want to say - I MISS YOU!!!

Poolside With Slim Aarons

Slim Aarons, an American photographer, is best known for his poolside photographs, in which he photographed, as he said, “attractive people doing attractive things in attractive places.” Aarons made a career out of “knowing everyone” and being invited to parties, and photographing these fabulous people. Lucky Slim. Well as I put on my Wellies in my little 2 bedroom apartment and trudge another day in snow I will close my eyes and think of the wonderful images of Silm's. I was inspired by Everyone Is An Art Director for this post. xxx

End of the Road

For me the end of the road each day is when I'm sitting in the back garden with a glass in my hand pondering about my day and my future. Here we explore simple ideas in how to have fun with your outdoor space. Whether you've got a generous back garden, a teeny roof terrace or just a window box you will be inspired by End of The Road Festival in Dorset.
