Wow! February seems to have come round quickly, even though nothing is really happening!

Along with most other people, I have been mainly staying at home during ‘Round 3’ of lockdown. The weather has meant that there have been fewer opportunities to get out with the camera, and I am restricting myself to visiting places within walking distance from home. Realistically that means no more than about three to four miles from home, as I need to walk back again as well, and an eight mile round trip with all the camera gear is enough most of the time. Fortunately within those restrictions I can still get into the northern edge of the New Forest and along some of the Avon Valley.

Even though it may seem rather early to be thinking about it yet, I have been sorting through images that may make it into the 2022 Calendar which I intend to publish later in the year. I expect to follow the same sort of timings as last year and have the proofs sometime in mid or late July, when I will again offer pre-orders for despatch in early September. Keep an eye out for more news!

As in previous years, I have signed up for a number of fairs and markets, including the Sherborne Castle Country Fair at the end of May and the Romsey Show in September, but which of these events will actually be running is unclear at present. Again, keep your eyes open for more information as it becomes available.

As ever, if you have been, thanks for reading,

Alex
