Photography // Wroxton Abbey Grounds
Last weekend I decided to go for an early Sunday morning walk round Wroxton Abbey, something i’d been wanting to do for a while.
Luckily it was a lovely bright sunny morning, perfect for getting some great shots – picked out a few of my favourites below, the rest can be found on Flickr.

This book totally passed me by! I never used to be much of a reader, especially of fiction books, so I missed all the hype that lead to The Alchemist becoming one of the world’s most read books, selling over 150 million copies.

Knowing that he’d had a few books published, many years before his election campaign, I decided to add these to my reading list to learn about his upbringing and what led him to go into politics.
Reading List // KP: The Autobiography
Even people who don’t follow cricket know who Kevin Pietersen is. Bursting into the spotlight during England’s glorious 2005 Ashes win, KP, the South African with the three lions inked on his arm.
Coming soon after his acrimonious exit from the ECB setup, though it covers all aspects of his career, it’s his time with England that this book focuses on. Continue reading “Reading List // KP: The Autobiography”
