Christmas in Venice with John. The city was very quiet during the day and almost deserted at night - between that and the blue-blue canals, it seemed like a magical place from my dreams. 2004.

Katherine and I went on a horseriding holiday in August 2004. It was incredibly random - there was a shower in the middle of our room, a disco in a living room of someone's house and we had the most stubborn horses ever.
