These boots were made for walking

I was recently introduced to the lovely Louise at her fabulous boutique The Jackson's on All Saints Road (also on Ledbury Road) and helped them out with a little picture of their latest delightful offering, these AMAZING suede boots (these are blue they also have black). Being 5'11'' I'm not often found in heels but these felt like I was floating on air. Incredibly comfortable and super flattering they made my legs go on for miles. They stock the most gorgeous range of clothes, shoes and jewellery and I'm heading back there on Thursday to photograph some more of their stock. It's cruel really as I know I'll want to take it all home with me. Take a look at more of their stuff at The Jacksons - they have a fantastic sale on at the moment. Love, love, love.

I'm very lucky to work with a fantastic boutique travel company called Canopy and Stars, an offshoot of Sawdays, who specialise in luxury camping.  I met Tom who runs C&S down in Bristol after shooting the Yurt at Inshriach House and have subsequently done a number of their sites to provide images for their websites and national media. In the summer I turned up on the train to meet Tabitha at Penrith Station who took me back, settled me in to my gorgeous shepherds hut, one of three they currently have dotted through their forest.  Each camp has handcrafted traditional shepherds hut with (a very effective) woodburner, a cosy wooden kitchen and bathroom block and compost loo and firepit.  My site had a wooden deck, complete with deck chairs perfect for sitting and gazing out over the spectacular North Lake Fells.

I luckily got to spend two nights there, slept extremely well under my feather down duvet and could happily have stayed a week in such amazing peace and tranquility.  I hope to get back there next summer although I intend to work my way through a few more C&S sites.  I've got my eye on the treehouse next...
