WE LOVE PETERBOROUGH CALENDAR

First created for 2021 with Susan’s own photographs taken around parts of the city, our annual calendar was an immediate success.

For 2022, we then created a ‘Follower Photo‘ calendar and changed the size. All its beautiful photographs were taken by you, our amazing followers! Calendar copies winged their way as far as the good old USA and Australia!

We love having you involved so continue that participation year on year with calendars for 2023 & 2024.

Thanks, as always, go out to each person who enters a photograph in our competition and to those who actually win a spot. In November 2023 we celebrated with a ‘Calendar Launch’ and some fabulous desserts at Row48 at Thorpe Meadows.

 

Our 2024 Calendar went dashing out the door and around the world!! – Norway, Australia, New Zealand & Ohio were just some of the letter boxes. You’ll have to wait until next year to grab one now as they’re all sold out! So, watch this space for 2024’s competition entries ready for 2025’s calendar.
Find out more about our annual competition and competition entries.

‘Stanley’ Rec History Updated

You all must know 'Stanley Rec' (Stanley Recreation Ground) especially if you are a 70's child who has played there on the swings, or before that, if you played or watched cricket. I regularly walk through Stanley Rec on an early morning walk and it occurred to me that a...Read More

From Lemons to Firewalking in 90 minutes

I was intrigued after someone telling me about what was happening at 15mins away at Thorney every few months and stated as ‘The Most Empowering Course On The Planet’ … Was I nervous knowing that this evening was coming up? Actually no, not nervous at all, but when the time...Read More

Susan Photography, Events & Media

I have a passion for making Peterborough the best it can be for everyone living here. Of course Peterborough has its bad points, so it’s all about making the most of what we have in the way. I photograph, write and review whilst promoting events, sharing the good places, the great food you can eat and unveiling of the new.

Camera in hand I will attend as many events as possible, so if the camera gets pointed at you… smile!

GREAT GIFTS FOR ANY OCCASION

We have created some great bits of merchandise, from useful 9×7″ notebooks that fit neatly into any bag. They make a fab journal or simply for notetaking when you’re out or at a business meeting. Printed and distributed through Amazon, their cover images are of some of Peterborough’s most outstanding buildings; the beautiful Guildhall in Cathedral Square, scenes along the Embankment, the old Flour Mill and even the Customs House on Town Bridge.

It’s all about showing off the wonderful architecture that we sometimes take for granted as we pass it every day. Each of these lovely photographs has also been made into a beautiful A4 print that look wonderful when framed, we’ve even now made a smart phone cover!
