Hi! I’m Alice. This is my personal site, mainly for my photographs. I like to travel, cook, make things, and see interesting sights.

I almost exclusively post my own pictures, for links to other people’s work follow me on Twitter.

I live in Oxford UK with Simon and our two cats, Beep and Ira. My family background is Irish, Japanese, and German. I blogged at peapods.typepad.com from 2007-2009 and moved to QuaintLiving.com when I moved from Typepad to Wordpress.

FAQ

Why ‘Quaint Living’?
It had jokingly been suggested to me that I ought to run a magazine called ‘Quaint Living’ because of my tendency towards a ‘quaint’ lifestyle. My dial-up red telephone, cycling, growing vegetables, and cooking. However this is not to suggest that I do not appreciate modern technology, in fact the complete opposite is true! I love my iPhone, my Macs, DSLRs, and all the benefits of the modern age. I play the bass in a band and my day job is in New Media for a major publisher.
