But it is a good example about what I mean about re-cycling- leave it out for a day or two and see if anyone else wants it before binning it.

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…

Shooting Battersea Power Station at sunrise is on my list of things to do. However, having realised how early that is at this time of year, I am postponing for a few months. So here's an early morning shot instead.

I always like riverside scenes and to see the sun shining on this colourful area was so uplifting after months of drab grey.

Recce of Tower Hamlets cemetery with a view to shooting there later in the year. This is now the fourth of the 'Magnificent Seven' Victorian cemeteries I've visited and they are all utterly charming.

As Orwell discovered, there is no longer a pier in Wigan, but had there been this is where it would have been. I have to say, I was rather impressed with Wigan - chic cafes, smart shops and a dapper…

I didn't realise that the illuminations don't start until September. 1879 saw them light up for the first time, when they were described as 'Autumn Sunshine' (although I doubt in Victorian times that they had lampposts covered with yellow "M"s…

I love the Saturday flea market at the Naschmarkt! There is just so much interesting toot for sale, all jumbled up together - broken radios fight old crocks for space, pirated films nestle amongst the tatty paperbacks, jigsaws with pieces…

A common sight when the sun shines - the snoozers on the edge of the Danube canal. Don't they worry about rolling over and plummeting straight into the fast-flowing depths of the not so blue Danube? I prefer to enjoy…

As Burgenland is a major wine-growing area, there are endless opportunities for tasting and drinking, which means many bottles for re-cycling. Today is clearly collection day and at least the green is in keeping with the decor, even if the…

A boat trip to Podersdorf and Austria's only lighthouse. Follow the lighthouse and avoid the Schilf (the reedy things that seem to be taking over the lake but provide a habitat for all sorts of interesting wildlife).

And yes, it is not Stonehenge, but it was supposed to be. I used to be good at map-reading, but since I've had SatNav, I've become somewhat lazy. I had a meeting on the south coast today and was slavishly…

Continued bewilderment as to why plants will grow in the most bizarre places that seemingly lack all the things plants need to thrive and yet will not grow under my careful nurturing.

Despite waking up to a blizzard and packing the pick-axe, flares, blankets, as well as the Kendal mint cake for the drive to Bath, it appeared that we were right at the edge of the bad weather. Having allowed myself…

A day for family things, so only time for a quick skip shot. Not even time to rummage through it for any interesting recyclables!

This just made me giggle. This is 'The Junk Shop" - I love it, no pretensions of being an antiques emporium, just lots of lovely junk. And a copy of Dorothy Lange's biography for £3, which is no longer in…
