We started Married With Grown ups what feels like a lifetime ago in 2016 when we had both turned 50, our two children, Lucy and Adam had both moved out and as a treat we took our first 'big' holiday away on our own for a number of years by going to Scotland. Viv found something called the North Coast 500 that had just been launched and which sounded perfect for us. 

​

We'd always liked photography so the mix that summer of wild spaces, great landscapes and, yes, a chunk of time just with each other sparked something.

​

That autumn we started posting our photos on Instagram, set up the first website and started photographing our days out, family times, holidays, walks etc. And that's basically what we've done for the last 10 years and made loads of great connections and friends along the way as well as had some great experiences and fun.

​

Time obviously moves on and we're both on the cusp of 60 now! We have 3 grandchildren, Harley who was born in 2020 and Jack and Tommy - twins born in 2022 - now there's a handful! We've lost some very dearly loved people too who we think about all the time. But life goes on and so do we. 

​

We are both retired now and excited about what comes next. We'll have more time to do things, go places and take photos and, as we planned 10 years ago, we'd love to share that with you.
