My video 'Interesting times' features the eleventh annual Sculpture in the Garden exhibition that takes place at the Harold Martin Botanic gardens in Leicester from July 1st to 28th October 2012. The popular exhibition sees a number of artists works displayed in the complementary settings of the botanical gardens which where established on their present site in Oadby in 1947.

The Campers where lined up along the seafront with a selection of colours, designs and types each one reflecting its owners personality.

This short film was shot by me during the early morning sunrise at Bradgate Park in Leicestershire. The film features Bradgate park which was the birthplace and early home of Lady Jane Grey - 9 days Queen of England. The park is well known for its herds of red and fallow deer who roam freely amongst the spectacular scenery of this unspoilt part of Leicestershire.
