Tight Trousers

Is it really five whole days since I last posted anything here. Wow, time flies doesn’t it?! January is flying by, and I need to start thinking about finalising my list of eleven monthly challenges for Feruary through December. Here’s a couple of ideas that are bubbling around. I am getting a very strong sense [...]

Phone Box Tales – A Photoblog

Today, we were in the historic city of Bath for a little one-day adventure. The much mentioned Mrs F has been working on a secret project: her Associateship of the Royal Photographic Society. I have been sworn to secrecy about revealing anything about it (a) for fear of some nefarious photographer copying the idea, and [...]

Day Thirty-One – So Long And Thanks For All The Fish

So, here we are. The end of my thirty-one day photography challenge for August, where I snapped a photograph each and every day this month and published it here for you viewing pleasure. Flickr users will be able to see my photo collections develop over time by adding me as a contact over there. Also, [...]

Day Thirty – Arundel

Bank Holiday Monday. Bless those bank managers for insisting that the whole country has a day off, and they’re not blessed for much these days either. We decided to spend ours wandering round Arundel: cream teas, antique and second-hand book shops, a browse around the groovy Sparks Yard, a mooch through the market and a [...]

Day Twenty-Nine – Highs n Lows

Today, I went up to “the home of cricket”; a.k.a. Lords; a.k.a. Marylebone Cricket Club or The MCC; a.k.a. “HQ”. When my brother called me a couple of weeks ago to say that he’d managed to get some tickets I was chuffed because (a) it has been a great series of test match cricket, and [...]

Day Twenty-Eight – Working At Home

Astonishing performance from Jonathan Trott and Stuart Broad in the cricket yesterday and today. A world record breaking 8th wicket partnership of 332 runs turned a troubling start for England in to a massive lead in the final test match at Lords. To put it in perspective, the other twenty-one wickets in the match have [...]

Day Twenty-Seven – Space Invaders

Just got home from work for the start of the Bank Holiday weekend and I found this wonderful sight that transported me straight back to my own childhood: Space Invaders. That’s right, our nieces had paid us a visit during the afternoon (unfortunately, I missed them because of being at work) but it was a [...]

Day Twenty-Five – Sunflowers

“I would like to fly to the moon And walk across my feelings for you I would take a bucket and a spade Dig a hole and then look at the love that I made” “Sunflowers” by Francis Dunnery, 2001 An early posting for you today, as later on this evening I will be going [...]

Day Twenty-Four – Sunset

Twenty four days in to my photo-a-day challenge and I am happy to report that I’m still going strong. I was working up in Bedfont (just outside Heathrow) today and on the journey back to Chichester I drove down the A286 from Milford while enjoying a frankly magnificent sunset. Whereas yesterday I missed my opportunity [...]

Day Twenty-Three – Pictures In The Sky

Do you remember when you were a kid and you could spend ages just staring at the clouds as they drifted by? No. Just me then. I know it sounds like the kind of thing that you would get in a Calvin & Hobbes comic strip, but I swear I used to do this to [...]
