Throughout 2025 I have been upgrading the website, adding a retail shop to sell my images in various products direct online to new and existing customers. Whilst I have been writing the text and taking the photographs, I have delegated the technical website wizardry to Jenny Hannigan, a very talented web designer, of 8woodview in Skipton.  And what a wonderful job she has made of it. Many thanks Jenny, you made it all so easy and enjoyable.

We have done this in three phases to give us chance to monitor things and measure progress. Early in the year we upgraded the general look and functionality of the website and added the first part of the shop, adding products. The initial offerings were Prints for Framing, Canvas Prints, a limited Coaster range, Jigsaws, and Gift Vouchers. To view these just click on the product names and the link will magically transport you there.

Following a few tester months, we started to expand the product range which now adds an extended range of Coasters, Greetings Cards, Metal Dibond Photopanels, Wooden Photopanels and Photos mounted on Slate Sheets to the existing products. Again, to view them just click on the product names.

Lastly, in December, we have expanded the number of images available across the product range. We sincerely hope you enjoy the product of what has been a very busy year in the shop.

At the same time, I have been busy learning how to market my wares on Facebook and Instagram. Even though it is early days in this venture the signs are very encouraging. As always, if you have any comments to make, please do not hesitate to give me a shout through my contacts page.

Finally, I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas 2025 and a Happy, Healthy and Wealthy New Year in 2026
