Zombies and Rock

Saturday, 3rd November 2012: The initial idea for this journal entry involved writing a real-time story, presenting the progression of an evening of utter idiocy, alcoholic indulgence and photographic luck. A scenario that gave the reader a sense they are living the moment along with the author.

Richmond Park at Daybreak

Saturday, 27 October 2012: The day before the clocks go back and the British summer, officially at least, is over. This is also the best day (from a lazy buggers perspective) of the autumnal season to take photos at daybreak, which happens at approximately 07:45. Virtually lunchtime! *cough*

Queens Jubilee – River Pageant

Queens Jubilee – River Pageant

Grim huh? If there is one thing that you really don’t want to see when you are planning to spend your day on the banks of the river Thames, It’s a rainy forecast. On an English bank holiday weekend when you least want it, of course we get it.

New Site, Beta – Feedback Please!

I have a new site and a new look. Does it suit me? Feel free to leave your comments, you can now login using Facebook, twitter, yahoo or google, so no excuses! :-)

While ushering in the start of summer I have spent 2 weeks struggling to find time to not only enjoy some of the beautiful weather the UK has experienced; but to also stay in, watch the start of the cricket season and completely build a new website.
