I only write occasionally here now, as you will see. However, there is an archive of over 2,000 posts which I’ve made over the last 20+ years, which are all still accessible.

  • 21 Weekend Away

    As I think I mentioned previously, this weekend we were away at the 21 weekend away. This was at the Asheldham Centre, which was a really good location. It’s an old converted church, and it’s got plenty of character! And fairly well equipped too. I won’t go through all that we did at the weekend.…

  • Day 307: Flowers

    Day 307: Flowers Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: A nice picture of some flowers. On a day this hot (it’s 29 degrees here, which isn’t THAT hot but given how cold it’s been recently it feels like a massive heatwave) it’s about all I can manage!

  • Day 303: Flower Droplets

    Day 303: Flower Droplets Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: A white flower on a nettle with water droplets on it.

  • Day 302: Salt and Pepper

    Day 302: Salt and Pepper Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Make a photo of a pair of subjects today." Well, the first thought that came to mind was salt and pepper pots! Thought this worked quite well in black and white.

  • Day 301: Sky

    Day 301: Sky Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Make a photograph of water in one form or another today". Well, clouds are basically water aren’t they? That’s what I learned in school at least!

  • Farewell, Saab

    After two and a half years of being a Saab owner, it is with sadness that I have to announce that I won’t be any more. Or at least (hopefully soon) any more: the Saab is up for sale. We decided recently that it would just be too much to take the Saab to college…

  • Day 300: Gas Ring

    Day 300: Gas Ring Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Illustrate heat in one of its many forms in a photograph today" Well this was the first thing that sprang to mind! It’s also the first time I’ve taken one of these pictures, strangely enough. I’ve just never thought of it before.…

  • One more weekend to survive…

    It’s turned out that June has been a busy month! On Friday night we had the youth group quiz night, which turned out to be incredibly popular. The idea was to get some of the parents of our youth group members involved, so we had a quiz night with all invited. It was incredibly popular…

  • Day 299: The Creed

    Day 299: The Creed Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment today: "As you’re out and about today, find a list and make a photo." Well this was taken at home but the idea comes from being out at church this morning: every Sunday we say the creed together. This is the old…

  • Day 298: Pulmonaria

    Day 298: Pulmonaria Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Make a close-up photograph of something". Well this is pretty close-up! Taken in a bit of a hurry again today but I don’t think it came out too badly. I apologise for every other shot recently being one taken in our garden, but…
