Airedale – Somewhat expensive, not well lit. Gets rather boring after second or third hour. Otley – Well priced (just £1/hour) and pretty well lit. […]

Decided that the last thing that this site needs is a blog. Realised that it already had one. I rest my case.

Realised that the web site is over 20 years old and it still hasn’t helped me go viral. Come to the conclusion that going viral […]

Done stuff. Don’t like the colour of the site title but can’t find another one that shows up. Does the site need a title? Do […]

Scrapped my WordPress site temporarily and resurrect this one. Wondered what version 2 of July 2018 will be like.

What I was I doing to the site. I can’t remember but I’m sure it was very interesting or not.

Totally restructured the site, added new pages, moved and renamed old pages, shuffled content around, got totally lost, panicked, sorted it out all out, now […]

A jaunt around the Midlands, visiting Warwick Castle (horribly touristy), Twycross Zoo and Kenilworth Castle (much better!) with new photos added around the album if […]

A visit to the Prescott Hill vintage hill climb has resulted in a new section in the gallery which nobody can find.

‘1968 And All That’ event at the National Railway Museum, so some more pictures have turned up in the ‘Steam’ section of the gallery. Or […]

We have a new four-legged member of the family; a grey kitten called Grace who now has her own area in the album which no […]

The last day of the holiday (boo-hoo). A quick trip to the beach at Greve de Lecq in the morning and just a couple of […]

Off to Jersey Zoo, or ‘Durrell’ as it is now called, after its founder; Gerald Durrell. I can’t say I like the new name, but […]

Took the ferry to Guernsey today. Two of us were sick and I wished I’d walked. On arrival, I was interviewed by a journalist from […]

Continued the continuation by adding pictures from the maritime museum in St. Helier. We went to a vineyard and a pottery as well, but I […]

Continued the vanity insanity by adding today’s collection of pictures from Mount Orgueil Castle.

In a totally pointless and probably futile exercise driven only by withdrawal symptoms from my regular games of Scrabble and a feeling of ‘well, why […]

Another little update with a few new photographic imagary including one one or two of me on the Royal Scot many, many years ago (ye […]

New album! Bananas????

More photos added. Many more to go….

Finally got around to redesigning the site completely – well, nearly completely…. Got a new recently as well – a dark green Ford Mundano. Boring, […]

Just noticed that I haven’t updated this page for 3 years. Shows how exciting my life is doesn’t it? Zzzzzzzzz………

Someone decided to try and embed their Post Office van in the side of my car as I was driving home tonight. Yes, thanks, I’m […]

Well, I keep saying “I must update the web pages” and then do nothing about it. I haven’t actually done very much this time, but […]

Ho hum, well I got the pages sorted (or so I thoughted (so says, lapsing into whimsical rhyme for a moment)) only to have someone […]

Righty-oh then (he says, out of character, but in an attempt to confuse the spellig checker) this thyme, I’m really, really, really going to get […]

Bit more work, played around with the design, went to bed. Night-night.

Just updated a few links and spelling mistakes. Nobody has joined the mailing list yet, which would be depressing if it wasn’t for the thought […]

Well, its the start of the last year of the decade, century and milleni…. mile… melly… minellium, so to celebrate, I’ve bought skilleter.org.uk as a […]

Just got a new (well, newer) car, so decided that the most logical thing to do was to update the web site. I’m still trying […]

We’ve been travelling around the country a bit recently; we’ve been to the Manchester Museum of Science and Industry, Peak Rail in Matlock, Armley Mills […]
