  • Seated in a camping chair, a 15 year-old teenage girl sips tea whilst being served steaming rice in a field whilst on a family camping holiday. The heat from her hot meal rises in the summer air as a hand from the cook scoops out the rice on to plastic camping plates. She is on a family holiday on the North Devon coast in southwest England and in the background we see this meadow beyond that belongs to a local farmer. The campsite is basic without crowds of caravanners and other noisy holidaymakers. The grass is lush and green suggesting it has been a wet summer.

  • A group of four friends drink Champagne from glasses and plastic cups from beneath welcome shade during a particularly hot afternoon at the Henley Royal Regatta boat races, England. Dressed in quintessentially English blazers that denote their university and boat club, the four are in jovial spirits during this annual festival of high-society, serious rowing and general clowning around on the rural Thames. In 1829 a boat race challenge was held between teams representing the universities of Oxford and Cambridge. The venue chosen was a straight stretch of the Thames at the small town of Henley-on-Thames. Now held July and is one of the main dates on the sporting calendar and social season for the hoi polloi

  • Foreign travellers and ex-pats play drinking games at a bar called CJ's in the Chinese economic region of Macau. An unseen person stands over the customer and pours a mixture of apparently lime and an alcoholic drink into the other man’s open mouth. It spills and dribbles down his face but otherwise ends up in his throat for some kind of pleasurable – and expensive – youth experience. On his t-shirt are the words Rage Against the Machine, an anarchic message of rebellion.

  • Holidaymakers are seated in deckchairs on the North Pier at Blackpool, England. As a man in the back row drinks deeply from a can and a lady next to him looks intently at life to the right, a more eccentric woman sleeps with a lacy handkerchief stretched across her face, pinned inside her sunglasses. Looking very English with embroidered or printed pattern of flowers. This northern seaside resort in the north-west of England is diverse in its transient holiday population whose behaviour can be routinely odd. Blackpool is the largest resort in the north of England and visited traditionally by working people from industrial towns and cities during the industrial revolution.

  • A team of English tea-tasters employed by the tea company Lyons sample different blends for the PG Tips brand in the City of London, England UK.

  • On a labour ward at Kings College Hospital, London, a young mother sits back and rests before being transferred to a bed on the maternity ward. Wearing a hospital gown and an identity wrist tag, leans back exhausted on a wall with eyes closed, reflecting on the last 24 hours of labour, contractions and the birth of her first child, a baby girl who    sleeps in a cot next to her mother. Tissues and a drink cups are on the table in front but the new mum is too tired to reach out for a sip. This is from a documentary series of pictures about the first year of the photographer's first child Ella. Accompanied by personal reflections and references from various nursery rhymes, this work describes his wife Lynda's journey from expectant to actual motherhood and for Ella - from new-born to one year-old.

  • Two ladies stand outside of a bar to sip lunchtime drinks in Broadgate, City of London. Dressed in matching scarlet red jackets, the brunette and the blonde look relaxed in the warm mid-day sunshine during a warm spell in the capital. The nearest woman holds the remains of a gin and tonic whose lemon slice  is at the bottom of her glass while her friend or colleague, with wide shoulder pads and gold chain strap for her bag draped over across a shoulder, smiles to show white teeth. In the background are other women who wear the same red clothes and these primary colours are set amongst the deep green foliage of the bar’s plants.

  • A priest leads Sunday Mass in a local Catholic church in Le Neubourg in rural Normandy. Father Phillipe Dubos holds up the Holy chalice and wafer before offering it for the congregation to sip and eat. Wearing a green cassock, the mottled light from stained glass window light plays across his shoulder as we see him side-on. It is estimated that somewhere between 83% to 88% of France's population are Catholic. The church is organised into 98 dioceses, served by 20,523 priests

  • A woman pedestrian strides past a red phone kiosk advertising Natwest's online banking aimed at new University students. In bright sunshine, the phone box carries the ad of a woman sipping from a mug - the typical student up late - while checking her balance via smartphone as the woman paces past in a chequered top, almost the same pattern as on the student's cup.

  • A large, manly woman sips a pint of lager during a darts tournament where she competes in an England Open tournament at the Bunn Leisure Holiday Park in Selsey, near Chichester on the south coast of England. Holding three darts with a Union Jack flags on the 'flights', her glass covers her face but we see her rings and bracelet and her ample belly after a life of beer and cigarettes in pubs like this. A great deal of alcohol (mostly lager, but also Coke) is consumed during darts tournaments although smoking in public places has now been banned in the UK, including pubs and bars. This audience seemed to consist largely of very large lesbian women from working families which seems to suggest that the pub (and alcohol) is still the place where women are attracted to the game of darts.
