In late 2024, I spent a day as a forager on a ‘Classic Coastal Foraging’ expedition across the beaches and woodland of South West Wales - here’s my photo round-up from this incredible adventure into food heritage.

An early morning ‘up and out’ and a wander down to Penarth Pier, Vale of Glamorgan (South Wales, UK) - I was lucky to get sunrise let alone getting to watch the Dawnstalkers (Penarth’s early morning sea swim club) enjoying the golden glow.

Mid-lockdown, November 2020 - we’d been indoors without really heading outside for any amount of time and the walls were starting to close in. With our minds set firmly on taking advantage at the earliest opportunity, we set our sights firmly on Pennard Castle, Three Cliffs Bay in the Gower, Swansea. A beautiful stretch of South Wales that is also an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

It’s Sunday 29th March 2020 and the UK has been officially in lockdown for seven days, with permitted outings for essential groceries, exercise and work if you cannot work from home. Today, I rolled the three in to one with a cycle trip through Cardiff city centre and headed to my studio in Cardiff Bay to check mail and get essential work-from-home items.

Bruges is an amazing city located about an hour outside of Brussels - it’s a perfect place to head away for a long weekend. After having viewed the film ‘In Bruges’ a few years back, I was compelled to come and check out this fairytale town.
