Goodnight My Lovely Boy

Our lovely boy, Frankie, finally gave up today after a two-month illness. We've been feeding him and giving meds through a tube to his stomach seven times a day for about a month which has been very stressful for all of us, but in the end he went the...

Remnants from the Damaged Archive

It was 1971 when I first saw a live show from Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, and from then onwards I must have seen another 50 or more, helped a lot by being part of the team that ran the fan club. Great days, just about to come to an end with F...

Camera Bag

I've been in bag making mode lately - I wanted a new camera bag but not your usual obvious camera bag. For a long time I've used an insert which I've put in a regular tote bag but I decided it was time to make my own bag. The first one came out o...

Lest We Forget

We visited the magnificent exhibition at Leigh Parish Church. Here are a selection of images I made, shot on the Pentax K-1 with HD Pentax-D FA 28-105mm WR lens. The pictures can speak for themselves.

While the Cat's Away

Cheeky black cat from down the road settling down in my bay tree pot. Mind you, I think the bay tree's had it so he's welcome. He was very comfy. :) Frankie got his results today and although it's quite serious, it's not lymphoma, and the situat...

Hi everyone, I've just been shopping near to a small village called Sileby (near Leicester). I noticed some single dinner plate sized poppies dotted about the village and asked an old lady (who was writing a name on one) why they seemed to be so rand...

My poor cat Frankie has been in and out of hospital this week as he stopped eating and was losing lots of weight. He's had x-rays, scans, blood tests and, yesterday, a biopsy. Vet thinks it might be lymphoma. Anyway, we're feeding him through a tube...

Pickering 1940s and HD Pentax-D FA* 50mm f/1.4 AW

I reviewed the lens for EPZ, sent it back and then the company who sorted the loan went bust. The lens came back undeliverable and Ricoh/Pentax asked me if I minded hanging onto it until things were sorted out. Obviously it was most inconvenient to h...
