Hi everyone.. so sorry for the lack of posts recently and yes we know the river has been beautiful in this beginning of spring but the truth is we can’t get out!!

A local fisherman to us decided to rush home after 7 days at sea and rounded a corner way too fast.. I saw him before he saw me and stopped as far over the left of the road as was possible with two large granite hedgerows but by the time he saw us and tried to brake he lost control and mounted the wall before ploughing into the side of us as he fell off the wall..

His car ended up wedged down the side of my van on its side and thankfully no one was hurt badly.. Leanne took a really bad shaking up and is suffering from whiplash but the main problem is the van, for the present time, is unusable and consequently we can’t transport our little boat to the river to be able to get out and take some more river Images…..

So unless anyone’s got anything we could use to go out on the river in while we’re there, we won’t be able to get out there until the van is fixed which will be hopefully by the end of march fingers crossed…

We did manage a trip in the hire car to Gweek this week and I’ll post the shots we got from there as soon as I can but we so desperately want to get out into the creeks again and get this site up and running ready for Easter when we hope you’ll all be back with us..

Here’s a few images from Kate Kirby at Bishop’s Quay which are definately showing us what we’re missing…

Gig on the river

I love this image Kate, its a perfect composition the winterry tree’s the stillness of the river and the cut through of the Gig throwing perfect reflections of all into the river.. wonderful pictures and this is definately my favourite followed by the view from your window
