Connect in Risby

Photographer Gillian Allard joined the Connect facilitator, Jane, along with Sophie and other residents for a walk around the village and the chance to share some tips on how to photograph a few of their favourite parts of the village.

A single tree, in full leaf, stands out with ploughed field behind and rough pasture in front

These images will now be applied to pieces of wood and, later this year, displayed in the village for others to enjoy.
