The Postman WILL knock twice – Royal Fail
Dec 11So here’s the story. Saturday mornings are usually spent walking the dog after dropping daughter off for her Saturday job – as a consequence we are typically out when postie turns up. So on our return yesterday we have been ‘carded’, you know the score – tried to deliver a package but couldn’t. Anyway – this particular instance there were two packages,...
Age of Aquarius
Dec 03If you followed my posts last month you will have spotted that I become bandless (out of choice) due to the hand pains I was getting.

I have purchased a set of gig grips, pictured below, and I’m hoping these will do the job – if they don’t I’ll be remaining...
Worldwide Walk shot
Oct 21For the first time since in its four year history photowalk leaders are able to submit one of their pictures for their own competition.

So here’s a few of mine...
