This week, I did a catch up on episodes 3 & 4 of RANKIN's Great British Photography Challenge. Having got to used to the rushed format of some 4 tasks per show, I rather enjoyed these last two episodes. The 6 contestants put together a final portfolio of images displayed on a wall that they wer...

Hi Tina, You may have explored this already, it's worth checking with your current contents insurer to see if they will insure them outside the house.
