It was past dinner time and I still hadn’t done my self-portrait – and still had no idea what I was going to do for it. A few random shots indoors and then my remote decided to give up working at all. What is it with that thing? Why is she such a hormonal little [...]

The second of our two theme days for 7 Days. This time it was green and there seemed no better place to be than in among my sweetcorn, sunflowers and potatoes. All huge, green and thriving.
