211213 Peaked too soon

191213 Faustian Pact?

Some of the things we have seen and done today have been absolutely stunning, and finding unspoilt pockets of old Prague has been great fun. But, the city does seem to be turning itself into a 24/7 night club, which…

171213 Crisis Averted

161213 Frosty

And a rather dapper looking Frosty at that. So any illusions I had, that being in a foreign clime would lead to a better class of advent subject, have been firmly dismissed today. My favourite find was the underpants with…

151213 Why?

Not a very inspiring shot, but then Heathrow airport is far from inspiring. We arrived rather early, so I trotted into W H Smith to buy a camera comic - a traditional treat at the start of a holiday. On…

At Pendie HQ ... we see Nick's chair, Nick's orange amp, Nick's Fender Twin Reverb purple amp (once the property of the Lighthouse Family - remember Ocean Drive?), Nick's Triton Extreme keyboard and a Santa jumper ... I'm saying nothing;-)

111213 An auspicious date

It's not often that words fail me, but this Christmas scene left me speechless. Meanwhile, far more tasteful are the photographs displayed at the Cafe Art 2014 Calendar exhibition in the Charing Cross Underground Shopping Centre. The exhibition is running…

101213 Looking For Jesus

In my quest for pix for the Advent Calendar, I am becoming something of an expert on the meaning of Christmas. Way out in the lead is Santa, the reindeer are in second place with indeterminate fluffy creatures taking third…

081213 Bird watching
