A mix of camera and iphone photos from my stay at Grayson Perry’s ‘A House For Essex’ in Wrabness, Essex.
The house felt as much of a gallery as it did a functional house, the kitchen was stocked with every utensil you could possibly need and the attention to detail throughout was impeccible. There was a selection of music and books relevant to Julie Cope’s life and the local area which really helped to set the scene.

Went to see Grayson Perry’s A House For Essex today.

It’s definitely one of our…

9.30am I am waiting at Manningtree station for the 10am train to Harwich. I will be getting of at Wrabness to do the second leg of the walk from Harwich along the Essex Way. Even the short walk from the car, parked about 15 minutes walk away, has provided sights and sounds of Magpie,…

I was incredibly lucky to be able to stay in ‘A House For Essex’ last weekend, It is an experience I will never forget and gave me the inspiration to pick up my camera and start taking photos again (something I haven’t wanted to do for quite a long time) I unfortunately had trouble with one of my lenses but shortly I will be posting a selection of the photos I was able to take!
