Both are holding right-foot shoes that might suit them at this charity event held by the local Lions club, whose volunteers help the elderly and the disadvantaged within their community. We see some of the clothing piled up on trestle tables but the ladies' attention is just on their finds which are within their price range, having to survive on meagre pensions.

  • Gathered beneath the outer walls of the 15th century Church of St John the Baptist, a flock of Anglican pilgrims ready for a procession through the ancient Christian and pagan town of Glastonbury. Banners from their parish churches show illustrations for their Saints such as St Andrew and St Mark while an angel looks down on another. A young choir boy looks down at his feet, a middle-aged Church of England vicar holds his banner and a much younger member of a congregation stands with a polished silver cross. Glastonbury is notable for myths and legends about Joseph of Arimathea, the Holy Grail and King Arthur and in Arthurian literature Glastonbury is identified with the legendary island of Avalon. Medieval monks at the abbey even claimed to have found the graves of Arthur and Guinevere and the place is also said to be the centre of several ley lines.

  • On a busy Summer weekend, families enjoy the old Tarr Steps Clapper Bridge over the River Barle in Exmoor National Park, Devon, England. Crossing on the huge stone prehistoric slabs which weigh up to 5 tons apiece, children play with fishing nets, walk dogs and sit enjoying the view below of others who mess about in a small inflatable dinghy on the flowing stream. Located in a National Nature Reserve about 2.5 miles (4 km) south east of Withypool and 4 miles (6 km) north west of Dulverton, this spot is a favourite tourist place in South-West England. This typical clapper bridge construction may date to around 1000 BC. It is 180 feet (55 m) long and has 17 spans and designated by English Heritage as a grade I listed building.

  • Two children walk along a path between two dry stone walls in the countryside around the Yorkshire town of Settle. Striding between the boundaries of agricultural grazing land, whose trees and undergrowth has been cleared, the kids have come from a distant farmhouse which has recently lost its stock of sheep due to Foot and Mouth disease. Dry stone walls serve as boundaries and enclosures for farmers and land owners. Built by tradesmen called Wallers, a dying tradition and skill, they're constructed from stones without any mortar to bind them together. The stones must be carefully selected by shape to ensure that they have a large contact surface area with their neighbours and so do not slip. They are a legacy of the movement towards enclosure of common farming and grazing land as English society moved away from medieval feudalism. Model released.

The boy is actually playing with the girl's toy windmill, turning its sails proving a fun way of passing part of a summer's afternoon in this inner-city park. His sister is unimpressed however and she is about to snatch her own property back - not because she needs it, but simply because it is hers. These siblings are having to learn sharing each other's things and as a five and three year-old are finding out, it's a hard lesson.

There is a marked difference between the youthful, upright posture of the young girl to the hunched and bent stance of the old woman who stands supporting herself on a brolley. It is a picture that compares youth with old age, the delight that a person of later years shows to a child whose life reaches far ahead.

  • 'Christmas Comes but once a Year ..'  A grandfather holds his tired granddaughter at arms-length while watching a television prgramme at Christmas time. The baby girl is 5 months-old and yawns with a wide, open mouth while the elder relative pouts, looking grumpy. Both are seated on an armchair in the family home's living room. A decorated Christmas tree is seen in the far corner and the curtains behind are drawn. This is from a documentary series of pictures about the first year of the photographer's first child Ella. Accompanied by personal reflections and references from various nursery rhymes, this work describes his wife Lynda's journey from expectant to actual motherhood and for Ella - from new-born to one year-old.

  • On the living room floor at home, a young mother grabs a few minutes to herself to exercises her pelvic floor muscles three weeks after giving birth to a baby girl who lies asleep in a Moses basket carry cot on the carpet. She rotates her hips to her right, twisting her body to regain strength in her lower torso, still sore from labour. This is from a documentary series of pictures about the first year of the photographer's first child Ella. Accompanied by personal reflections and references from various nursery rhymes, this work describes his wife Lynda's journey from expectant to actual motherhood and for Ella - from new-born to one year-old.

  • "Brave New World." On a maternity ward at Kings College Hospital, London, a tiny new-born baby girl sleeps in her cot at the foot of her mother's bed. We see the mum's legs and feet pointing towards some curtains against which her infant is wrapped in an NHS shawl to keep her snug and warm. But it's Summer and the bedding is ruffled at the bottom to keep the heat down for an exhausted mother comfortable in an otherwise airless room. It is a scene of serenity and safety, at a time when mother and baby are bonding. This is from a documentary series of pictures about the first year of the photographer's first child Ella. Accompanied by personal reflections and references from various nursery rhymes, this work describes his wife Lynda's journey from expectant to actual motherhood and for Ella - from new-born to one year-old.
