We had a fantastic day out looking for snow in the Lake District this winter and found some. Castlerigg stone circle near Keswick is also one of my favourite spots to photograph. It was getting rather late by this time, but the lighting was perfect. My daughter was happily playing in the snow while I took this photograph. As a landscape photographer, you just can't beat the view of the stone circle with the majestic view of Helvellyn in the distance, with its snow-coated summit. Just perfect.

Top five places you've visited (not necessarily looking for anything fancy, you could take in a vacation kinda way, or in a my favorite bagel shop, park bench, etc way

This was hard!

Castlerigg stone circle - I love stone circles and this one is my favourite. It's usually a bit drizzly and invariably overrun with sheep. You go up a muddy hill and you can't see much, then all of a sudden there's the stone circle, and a horseshoe of mountains laid out around you.

Dún Aonghasa - this is an Iron Age hill fort on Inis Mór, off the west coast of Ireland. Half of it has fallen into the sea, so now it faces a sheer (unfenced!) cliff edge. It's spectacular. The Aran Islands are full of hill forts but Dún Aonghasa is the best. OK I could fill this entirely with prehistoric sites but that's probably enough.

Cefalù, Sicily - I think, in a crowded field, my favourite place I've ever been to on holiday. Just the perfect Italian coastal city: food, sights, sun, sea, sand...

That one amazing crepe place I found by accident in Paris and will never be able to find again - kind of self explanatory! The crepes were so good. The place was somewhere in central Paris. I have no idea where and I probably wouldn't recognise it again if I passed it.

Gruissan, France - this was the accidental destination of the first holiday my now-husband and I ever went on together. There were train strikes and we ended up hitchhiking with a carload of teenagers. We swam in the sea while French dogwalkers went by in coats and woolly hats. It was great.
