Glad you're ok Chris. Metal repairs, we take a little longer.
Been to Snugbury's Ice Cream in Nantwich today. Peter Rabbit was set alight a few months ago, but is now back with a vengeance.

It's been a while since I posted anything. I have been taking photos but got behind on the processing. A few from Chirk Castle a couple of weeks ago.

I photographed some well known former cricketers today. As we were leaving the outfield Ganguly asked my colleague Alan if he could take a photo for him on his mobile to tweet. I don't know why I bother lugging £5k of gear about, just use a phone!

The usual pre Test match mayhem of cat herding 26 cricketers to numerous different locations across a large area for photos, videos and written press interviews.

Chris8886 works at the same place as me and he probably didn't see much of this going on all day.

Day trip for work.


The garage was almost as good as mine.

Alan Jones car from 1980 when he won the world championship. Mansells car that had a tyre blow in Adelaide 1986. Mansells and Hills cars that they won the World Championship. Plus more.

Was at the Martlesham MH 100 weekend celebrating 100 years of Martlesham's military history.

This is a Crayfish Mound.
Found in the marsh next to our pond.
It looks like a chimney and is about a foot tall or more.
There were several small blue butterflies flying about but they would fly away whenever I got close all though I did manage to get one in this pic


Is the first year we have seen them as they are (were?) usually found
in the swamps and marshes in the eastern part of the state some 150 miles from here, where they have a much warmer climate.
However with the increasingly milder and wetter weather we are having here things are changing.

I find it almost unfathomable that any person could 'not believe in' climate change.
Can they not see the world changing in front of their eyes?
Have they no memory of how the weather was when they younger??

I'm as baffled as you Bill. The science is pretty solid on this as well, the figures speak for them selves. I wonder if it's partly that people don't want to believe it because it means a departure from the familiar ways of doing things. In the case of certain sections of industry it's just about greed and a complete disregard for the future.

Going to continue with this in a separate thread.
