We had a family outing to The Priory Theatre in Kenilworth last night to see an amateur production of Tom, Dick and Harry (by Ray and Michael Cooney). Neither I nor my eldest daughter were very well, in fact I had been off sick the previous day with general lurgyness and my daughter had stayed …

Missed opportunity of photography in the valleys
I drove home yesterday from Swansea to Telford through the valleys of Wales. Much of the scenery was stunning and a good chunk of my journey was during the so called evening golden hour for landscape photography. So, did I stop for that hour, wander around with my tripod and take some carefully selected photographs?
My car’s broken
My company car suffered an impact from some road debris. It has been taken away for repair and I have a hire-car from Hertz, a Golf, to live with until mine returns.
Yet another snowy day
I suspect everyone in the UK had some kind of snow story over the last week. I am pleased to report that nothing bad happened to me.
Two men in a boat
A rare photograph of me and my brother together risking our necks on water (well, relaxing on a narrow boat really).
Car for my eldest
Just drove a nearly new Golf home for my very lucky eldest daughter. She has tried many cars but has been learning in a Golf and it seemed a more practical and longer term proposition than some of the more popular first car choices (such as Fiat 500, Citroen C1) which would not have been …

I may have been away all week, but it falls to me to take my eldest to and from a training course on both Saturday and Sunday. Naturally, my daughter takes this service for granted and has to be reminded to thank me. Really is the last thing I want to do at the weekend. …
Stranger Danger
Some months ago, I posted about one of my daughter’s being attacked at a local shopping centre. (An event that still disturbs her from time to time.) Now there is an alert out about Strange Danger in the area. I am sure it is common to remind younger children of the danger of strangers but …
Scotland 08 – Friday
Heavy rain most of the night and still going strong in the morning. We did not feel motivated to do very much. We had planned a day out in a particularly beautiful area near by including a couple of waterfall visits. We decided, somewhat reluctantly, to head back to Inverness and hit the shopping centre. …
Scotland 08 – Thursday
Awoken by my youngest daughter at 7.20am today. Had hoped to lie in for a change as I have been getting up before 7am so far. Understandable though as it was her 15th birthday. We quickly got ourselves together and went through the appropriate ceremonies. The best part was when we revealed that, contrary to …
