I don't know where I stand on dog coats. On the one hand, I often find they look really stupid and question whether dogs need them because of their fur coats (the attached ones, that is, not the mink variety).…
Yesterday I went to St James's Park for the Remembrance Service and Parade and, as always, it was very emotional and moving. I didn't want to spoil the mood by having a rant in yesterday's blog post and I think…
The Garden called Gethsemane In Picardy it was, And there the people came to see The English soldiers pass. We used to pass—we used to pass Or halt, as it might be, And ship our masks in case of gas…
Signing autographs after his talk. What do Tim and I have in common? Pandas! I wonder how baby panda is getting on - I have had no news of him recently. I expect he's a lot bigger now, as they're…
Given the forecast and the howling wind, I didn't think I would be going anywhere, but there was no indication that the plane had been cancelled and sure enough, it took off on time and with a tail-wind flew to…
Jay getting into her stride judging the pin-up competition at the SIG Fair. This was an event to try and encourage the London members to join one of the RPS special interest groups. The weather forecast, however, led to many…
After my moaning of yesterday, the light was much more interesting today. Another one bagged for reflections of Chelsea. One of my favourite shops, but it's closed and seems to have been closed for ages without any explanatory notice in…
A trip to the Dry Cleaners en route to The Cave. Grotty light and miserable weather meant it was not a day for photography. The other shots from today aren't even worth disk space - grey, flat and dull.
A trip to Battersea Park. All sorts of interesting sculptures and ponds and things. This is in the Festival Garden, which has changed a lot since my last visit - when I was about 5 and there was a funfair…
Sadly, I couldn't make the wedding, but I managed to catch up with Mr and Mrs R for a glass of fizz before they fly off to pastures new. Buon viaggio, щасливої подорожі, molto felicita e amore. xx
Not much slick shooting from me today. Just a quick stroll through one of our favourite haunts to see if there was anything new. BTW, Slick Shoota is a Norwegian musician into 'juke, footwork and bass music' and a lot…
Day trip to Carnuntum with R&M. The archaeological museum is quite amazing. It includes a recreated Roman palace, complete with hot and cold baths as well as functioning underfloor heating, but what is so remarkable is the way that it…
The Spear of Destiny has, shall we say, an interesting history. Thankfully, neither MisterMac nor I had visions of world domination when we saw it. In fact, the only vision we had was of the tog skulking in the corner…
For someone who purports to know her pinot from her muscat, I know remarkably little about the process by which grapes get from vine to bottle. Seeing these apparent white and red grapes on the same vine prompted me to…
