A picture says a thousand words. They capture precious moments in time; whether it's the holiday of a lifetime full of sun-soaked moments of family fun, pictures telling the story of your friends laughing together on the beach, or you and your beloved partner holding hands through the snow wrapped in cosy scarfs.
I have recently been attempting to increase my fitness levels via walking, and I have to say that I am really enjoying it. It has also been very beneficial in helping to clear my mind of any negative thoughts and I always seem to return home a lot happier than when I left.

With Christmas fast approaching, many of us are already thinking about the perfect gifts for our loved ones.

Have you ever heard the term “biophilic design”? I would imagine that the majority of people wouldn’t have as it is not exactly a term that is mentioned on a regular basis in the news or the social arena.

There has been plenty of rain in the UK already this month and for those keen on photography, it can soon become somewhat frustrating. And this frustration is the same for those who have a photography assignment to complete. I am happy to be patient for one day, perhaps even two. But when the rain continues into a third day, with the weather forecast suggesting that it will be here for quite a while yet, I then start to become restless.
There are times when taking your average run-of-the-mill photo just isn’t enough. We feel the need to go to the next level in an attempt to take something a little more dramatic and inspiring. This could be to do with our increased confidence in our overall photography skills or just to try something a little bit different from what we have done before.
After experiencing the joy and excitement of going on holiday it can be somewhat of a drag to return home. Post-holiday blues impact way more people than not and it can often take a while to get back into the swing of things and back into the reality of everyday life.

The saying goes that a dog is a man’s best friend. In reality, we are a pet-loving nation and the majority of people, whether male or female, who has ever had a dog as a pet will have felt the love and joy of doing so.

At The Picture Gallery Ltd, we’ve spent decades perfecting the art of framing, and one of our most popular products continues to be the double photo frame.
