The light was fading fast and with night drawing in the other passengers soon settled down inside the large cabin with their warm cappuccinos. They must have thought me mad as I explored the deck of the ship stopping every now and again to take my photos
Read MoreDark nights with cold places. The only escape is the street. Freedom away from teachers and parents. Escape the norm. Meet with friends and hang. The norm is boring! Hell, everything is boring! Dark car parks with bright lights. Lets escape for a few hours. Whilst you sleep we will play.

'Waes Haeil' was the cry as the annual Wassailing at Tarring awakened the tree spirits on a cold winters night. Green men, dancing, shouting and toast in a tree all part of this archaic ritual.

Read MoreIs it Christmas already? What happened to the last year? Where did it go? Is that Father Christmas with a Gorilla? Don't panic Mr Mannering! All will become clear soon enough. A few years ago whilst I was working for a press agency in Kent I was sent on a very important Christmas photo assignment to photograph Father Christmas delivering presents to some Gorillas at a local wild animal park.
