Oh how I wish this had been my lunch, but much as I love them, that love is not reciprocated. I watched in envy as my lunch companion enjoyed them. Spent the morning getting nowhere with the Post Office over…

More vapour trails I'm afraid, but this month we are seeing the most amazing skies. We've had some lovely clear nights recently and I'm seriously thinking about having a go at astro-photography. The problem is clear winter nights usually mean…

Thomas Allen - before MisterMac thinks I've forgotten how to spell his name. I'm going through a bit of a Thomas Allen phase at the moment. I fell in love with his Don Giovanni about 30 years ago and that…

No, not the drugs and rock'n'roll variety, but the Wadworth's variety - at least that was what 6X used to be called. I am not a beer drinker, as a rule, but there is something about 6X that makes it…

Well you learn something new everyday and today I learned that there were two vegetables that I have never heard of. The first is tardivo - apparently some kind of radicchio, although it looked like a sea-creature that had escaped…

The most fabulous light today and I just wish I'd had more time to be out and about snapping. Tuesday is rubbish collection day and so there are always some interesting subjects around. I don't want to be labelled as…

Well, the Porsche itself isn't sparkly, but its reflection is definitely sequinned. Having heard that the forecast for the day was grotty and grey, I decided to have my daily flaneur somewhat earlier than usual. I need to start a…

Well this is not my best picture of the day (that was a rather nice evening shot of Baker and Spice) but this is the one by which I want to remember the day. It was the first London event…

Always on the lookout for reflections of Chelsea, I was taken by the roses reflected in this massive silver bauble in a shop window along the Fulham Road. The light first thing was perfect - that sort of wintery, Turneresque…

As I ambled down to Chelsea Green, my nostrils were assaulted by the smell of garlic wafting through the air. The local greengrocer shop had teamed up with the vintners to provide garlic mushrooms with crusty bread, washed down with…

I have a lot of sympathies with people who can't park because I am totally and utterly rubbish at it, as anyone who has been in the car with me will testify. However, I have no sympathies with dickheads that…

Hmmm, this pic raises the thorny question of photographer input, of which there is very little here. I suppose I can say I chose the point of view, the framing and a bit of colouration in Photoshop. I just couldn't…

An exciting day with like-minded folk discussing whether it was possible to unearth photographic style through some artistic exercises and psycohological profiling. The Queen's Head might seem to be an unlikely venue for a workshop, but it was cold and…

I'm not sure what the speaking tree was saying, but whatever it was, the tree chaps don't look too happy about it! So after a full English at the Royal Lion (the works - egg, bacon, sausage, tomatoes, beans, black…

Despite the dire warnings of relatives, the girls set off on their road trip. We'd planned it and the wind and wuthering were not going to stop us. Originally, we'd intended to drive up the Welsh coast and overnight at…

Visitors who bring rosè are always welcome. It goes extremely well with fish and chips - my culinary skills know no bounds! Actually, it wasn't even my culinary skills, but rather those of the local chippy - everything cooked fresh…

Rather an uninteresting pic, I hear you say. Well, it might be uninteresting, but it is relevant. When I took Friday's pic, I had something completely different for the Daily blog, but given some problematic internet access, I didn't upload…

A trip to the City today and lots of architectural pix of places I used to know so well, but the office-buildings have gone, replaced by glass and steel shapes, the little shops have gone, replaced by Starbucks and the…

... shepherd' s delight. What an amazing sunset we had tonight and it was a welcome sight after the dull greys of the last few days.
