Some weeks arrive loudly, this one didn’t! It felt quieter than that. Almost as though something was shifting in the background, not ready to make a scene, but no longer willing to stay hidden either. If you were rushing, you might not have noticed it. I...

This Is How My Books Are Made

by Ian Stephens | February 13, 2026 | Related articles | 0 Comments

People often assume these are simply collections of nature photographs. They’re not. They’re the result of a decision I very nearly didn’t make. In November 2021, a friend asked if I would take on a daily nature photo challenge for 365 days. My first reaction was,...

by Ian Stephens | January 16, 2026 | Related articles | 0 Comments

The wander for today was a short one nothing dramatic, no big views or epic miles, just a gentle stroll while visiting my Sister, Brother In Law and Niece. And yet, as so often happens, it proved that you don’t need to go far at all to find something worth stopping...

New Year’s Inspirations

by Ian Stephens | January 2, 2026 | Related articles | 0 Comments

New Year’s Inspirations I almost called this New Year’s Resolutions… but that felt a bit heavy and bossy. New Year’s Inspirations sounds much gentler, and that’s exactly what I’m hoping this will be – a few friendly nudges to help you step outside, explore a little,...

Christmas Holiday Mindfulness

There’s Still So Much to See You may feel like you just want to stay in at this time of year — the weather can be dreary, the light a bit flat, and the sofa far too convincing. I get it. But if you’re able to get out, even briefly and even often, it really does do you...

I am deeply proud that what began as a personal commitment has become something that inspires and cheers others. And the best part? It’s accessible to anyone. You don’t need an expensive camera or far-flung travels to experience the same benefits. All you need is curiosity, a willingness to pause, and maybe a smartphone in your pocket.

Please note I will be sending books out from home and I am keen to reuse any packaging, so that deliveries can be a bit more sustainable. Apologies in advance if you wonder why your parcel may be in a 2nd hand wrapping.

Thank you.

Opening Hours

Because my book business isn’t my main focus for work and is hopefully a way of making a bit of extra money for my charities, any messages and orders I receive may get to me at funny times, so please be patient.

I will get back to you as soon as I can.
