Linwood Warren-Another look

A return to Linwood Warren…

For the first time since my holiday in October I have enjoyed the merits of fresh air, open countryside and general tranquility. With Christmas now firmly behind me I can look forward to a new year and new challenges.
Yesterday I grabbed the chance to go for a photographic walk with my […]

Back to Work

My picture of the week….

Here’s a photo I took of my brother, nothing special in a technical sense but very special to me. It signalled the last day out we had together during my holiday before my return to work. I had two wonderful weeks off, most of it spent with my family along with […]

The Indian Summer

A fine week in England….

I’ve been off this week and what’s more the weather in England has been glorious, so good it’s broken all the records for the hottest days in September and October apparently. I don’t much care for these statistics, the only stat I care about is how long I’m off for!!
Incredibly there’s […]

A Mediterranean Sunrise

A photograph of a sailing boat in the Mediterranean…

Apologies once again for the lack of posts this week, I’ve just returned from a quick visit to Spain, well Palma Mallorca to be exact. Some business, some pleasure but a nice getaway for a couple of days. Quite a few photographs to show you as soon […]

A Sense of Nostalgia

Taking a trip down memory lane..

One of the highlights of my recent time off was the chance to spend some quality time with my family which included some great photographic trips with my brother. What I especially liked was returning to some old haunts of ours and reliving some great childhood memories.
I grew up in […]

A Breath of Fresh Air!

First day of my annual leave..

Today was the first day of my holiday and I spent a thoroughly enjoyable eight hours in the open air and Lincolnshire countryside with my brother and his regrettable headwear
A damp, overcast day for the most part with little sign of wildlife but that didn’t matter, it takes […]

A Great Week

Last day of the holiday..bring on the post holiday blues!

Just had a great week off work spent by and large with my brother in the Lincolnshire countryside. A week of walking and photography has done me the world of good before the onslaught that is Christmas
We shared the catering duties and I must […]

The Week in Review

Best and worst of the last week

Well it’s time for that list again though judging by my last week or so it could be somewhat one sided, it’s been a long haul of work and abject misery for the most part so if you need cheering up then don’t read on!!

Picture of the Week

A day to remember….

Blogging has been somewhat hit and miss of late and entirely against my wishes. Time off is something of a pipe dream at the moment so getting out and about is a rare occasion. I did however manage a day’s walking and photography with my brother last week and I cannot remember […]

Recharging Batteries

Back on home ground….

It’s been quite a month so far, well five actually! I came home late last night after some time away from home and now I am back to roost. After a busy day getting back to normality I headed off to my favourite spot for a little ‘me time’ and to remind […]
