I have just been reunited with my Swiss army knife after it decided to stay on in Bulgaria after our Christmas break. Prior to this adventure, it had been temporarily confiscated at a concert in Hyde Park and had to listen to PULP in the darkness of a small locker. We have shared many skirmishes… Read More Further Adventures of my Swiss Army Knife

Our local evening newspaper had an enticing offer to recruit new readers the other day – free chips. I’m not sure if the chips came ready-wrapped in the paper. I would have thought the last thing the people of this good town needed was to eat more chips.
On sunday morning I went for a walk in the park. This was not easy. It involved detailed preparations to protect myself against the cold. A fresh covering of snow had been carefully placed over the town during the night. I took my camera to capture the beauty of the morning. I met some swans… Read More A Walk in the Park
I imagine that Declan from Finedon is feeling fine today because it is his 18th birthday. Someone has a fine love for Declan from Finedon. I possess these two pieces of knowledge because they took the trouble to find – in Finedon – an old grey sheet with faded memories of once being pristine white.… Read More Birthday Message
