190513 Union-Jack Ken

Or perhaps that should be Union-Joke Ken, for UJK was enterprisingly raising money by selling joke magazines at Reading Services. Well anything that creates a laugh on the M4 has to be worth the investment.

180513 New Neighbours?

We had a patch of garden that was always boggy. I have romantic notions of there being a hidden lake or stream beneath that leads to a lost world, but it's probably just a leaky water pipe. Anyway, as a…

170513 The Bus to Brimscombe Port?

I think Brimscombe Port is in the same category as Wigan Pier, insofar as it doesn't really exist. Unlike Wigan Pier, however, Brimscombe Port is not the title of a great work of literature, but perhaps it could be. Maybe…

160513 When in Rome

Although obviously I'm not in Rome. In rural parts, sunsets are the thing to do, but I never seem to be around for those amazingly vivid colours.

140513 Launch of New Leica

Today we made pinhole cameras at school. Technically, due to my advanced skills with a sewing needle (LOL), mine worked very well indeed. However, in terms of aesthetics, imagination and just sheer brilliance, the prize has to go To Roger…

120513 Sunday Shoot

It was Sunday Shoot day and so inevitably the bright sunny day soon turned to a flat dull light and then rain ... and it was jolly cold. As ever, the Blighty spirit of the members prevailed, although I think…

110513 Deep Disappointment

This spot was 'Posh Rubbish Corner' as there was always a pile of rubbish here, but none of your coffee-dregs and fag ends, but rather rubbish in bags from designer shops, brochures for exclusive cars etc. The council has obviously…

100513 Chelsea Prepares

I love Chelsea at this time of year as it prepares for the Chelsea Flower Show. Although tickets for the real thing are impossible to get and outrageously expensive, we can still enjoy the fringe flower show. Local shops and…

090513 Battle of Britain

Great fun today test-driving a tilt-and-shift lens. It wasn't as scary (in terms of bells, whistles and knobs) as I thought it would be, but there was a lot more user decision-making required than I had anticipated. The test-drive was…

060513 Milliband in Clink

Well I'm sure that's how the tabloids would describe it. Having seen other pics of high profile children, I understand it is the done thing to put a highly pixelated square over their faces, but it just looked daft and…

040513 The Red Baron

Not every day we see German warplanes in Amberley. There are thirty cow characters with names like 'Moolin Rouge' and the "Moona Lisa' dotted around the common and the hunt for them is a fund-raising exercise for the local school.…

030513 Tip Shop

I'm having a bit of a clear out and have done several runs to the charity shops and the tip, since the charity shops won't take electrical items, so they just had to be hurled into a skip, where they…
