Through The Lens: Staithes
This week we’re sticking with the Yorkshire theme but this time we’re heading to the coast. A little known fishing village, just above Whitby, Staithes is a gem on the East Coast of England. All shots were taken on a Nikon D5000 with a 35mm f/1.8 lens. Old school I know! You can check out my other posts in the ‘Through The Lens’ series here.

The first place up is Leeds, a city in Yorkshire, towards the north of England. After recovering from my hip operation, I wandered around Leeds on a Saturday afternoon (clocking up about ten miles!) before my first gig back with my band! If you love the photos or…
York’s Top 10 Bars and Pubs

However, there are plenty of high quality venues within the city walls that are all worth a visit. Whether you are in the mood for craft beer, quirky cocktails or a cosy, traditional pub, York’s impressive diversity really does cater for all needs. If you’re heading to York on a weekend, you’ll want to make sure that you avoid some of the chain bars along the river which are full to the brim with stag and, mostly,…
