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.

  • Garden flower

    Quick one tonight! At lunchtime today I didn’t have time to take a photo, and then we have a youth group meeting this evening. I thought I’d pop out into the garden and see if I could get any good flower shots! I think this is my favourite one. This is a sedum, which is…

  • The Chelmer

    Today’s photo is another “lunchtime walk” jobbie. (Like I said, there are going to be a lot of these…) This is taken from the lock just up the river from where Tuesday’s picture was taken. There is a little waterfall the other side of the lock which may well feature in a photo at some…

  • This way, and a new clutch

    My photo today was – again – taken at lunchtime. There are a few little paths near where I work, this is one of them. You can’t see it in the preview, but on the post there’s a little direction arrow indicating the walk. I like this because it’s absolutely pointless – you can only…

  • The Chelmer, and a Holiday Update

    If you’ve been following my Twitter for a while you will probably have seen photos of the Chelmer before. I often walk down there at lunchtime. I think rivers are just about my favourite subject matter for photographs, particularly on a sunny day. There’s just something beautiful about them, the reflection of the trees rippling…

  • Fordham

    We went out to Fordham today to have lunch with AJ and Jen. We walked from their house over to the Shoulder of Mutton and had a very nice lunch. Phil had sausages and mash, while I had a cheeseburger with chips. Good honest bank holiday food! This picture was taken on the way back,…

  • Evie

    Today we went round to see Jo for a bit. Evie (Phil’s god-daughter) was being very cute, as 15 month olds are, and I think this is the best photo I took. When I say “best”, I also mean best in the sense that the others were a bit blurry! So this was the best…

  • An Empty Table

    I’m afraid today’s picture isn’t very inspiring! I had a few ideas, but unfortunately it was a bit too dark and grey to execute them. Also, it started raining. This photo epitomises what it’s been like this August: too wet to really use our outdoor table and chairs! I’m afraid it’s not such a pleasant…

  • Flower

    I popped out earlier today to Castle Park to take some new photos for this photo challenge. You can see the results on my photostream, the one here is probably my favourite. My second favourite is probably this one, not really sure why! It was a good day for photos today – the sun seemed…

  • Ashes to Ashes and fanvids

    A couple of weeks ago I completed my first “fanvid”. In case you don’t know what a “fanvid” is, it’s basically a fan-made video created using clips of a programme (in this case, Ashes to Ashes) with a backing song. It’s basically a mashup, and it’s probably best just to watch some examples. Some of…

  • New Photo, and Feeling Old

    Well, I’ve done a new photo! Hope you like it. It’s a horrible day outside – grey and raining pretty hard! So I decided to take a picture of some sheet music instead. I’m a musician (well, I like to pretend to be a musician at least), so sheet music is something which I find…
