Frome doing its thing today with cobbled streets, independent shops, and just the right amount of festive sparkle to distract from the drizzle. A town so charming it almost makes you forget how steep the hills are… almost. 🎄✨

Photographing the Wessex Morris Men in Cerne Abbas today feels like coming full circle. Exactly one year ago, on Boxing Day 2023, I photographed my first folk event—and it sparked a deep love for documenting the traditions and characters that inspire my work today.

Visited the #CerneAbbasGiant today… or at least I think I did. Turns out the giant prefers a bit of privacy when it’s foggy. I’ll have to come back on a clearer day! 🌫️

The December Thorn Cutting Ceremony in Glastonbury is a centuries-old tradition where a sprig from the town’s sacred Holy Thorn tree is cut and sent to the monarch for Christmas.

The Abbots Bromley Horn Dance is an ancient English tradition performed annually in the Staffordshire village of Abbots Bromley.

Dating back to at least the 13th century, it features antlered dancers, musicians, and costumed characters parading through the village. 🦌
