A Walk In The Woods
As I mentioned in the last post, I have taken to doing a bit of walking since coming back from holiday. Well, I’ve managed to live in Brampton for some thirty three years and yet never been to the Ridge Wood between Brampton and Lannercost. I took a walk, along with my Wife Sue, out […]
Walk, Don’t Run!
Sedentary is a term dear to my heart. I usually find the idea of walking from the sofa to the kitchen quite a chore and really can’t understand why it’s not practical to drive that distance. So imagine my abject horror when I arrived on my holiday in Paphos, Cyprus to find that the […]
Sun, Sea and Small Sensors
It has been a busy time since my last post. My business arm, Four Counties Photography has been very busy with our “Cadet” photography, creating photo packs for youth organisations. I donate a sizeable proportion of my parodist back to the organisation who I shoot for their welfare funds so it’s not only fun but […]
Whoops! I forgot about that!
As I get older I, along with most other people, get forgetful. Where did I put my glasses? What’s todays date? What’s her name again? But I didn’t think I would get half way through a posting and then forget all about it. If you read my previous post then you would have seen that […]
An Evening Stroll In The City
It is some time since I had the opportunity to post on here. The commercial side of ty photography business has been very busy doing my ‘Cadet Shoots’ which is really nice as it means that I get to donate some of my earnings straight back to the Cadet unit and therefor the kids themselves…..and […]
The Long Good Friday Part 4 – Epilogue
Last visit of the day was to the church of St Mary’s at Cumwhitton. I was met at the entrance to the village by a rare sight these days, a traditional red British telephone box. These used to be a common sight throughout the UK but now they tend to be (ab)used by banks for […]
The Long Good Friday Pt 3, Armathwaite
Continuing along through the Cumbrian countryside I left Calthwaite and headed back under the motorway and back up to the little village of Armathwaite, home to the Fox and Pheasant pub. A place I must admit I have spent many hours in eating fantastic pub fayre and drinking the odd real ale or two. Parking […]
The Long Good Friday (hey, there could be a film in this)
Second on my Good Friday visits was to All Saints church in the little village of Calthwaite. Just a short journey down the road from Hesket and under the M6 motorway, we go by the main West Coast rail line and across the river. I have played and sung (I’m a singer in another life) […]
24 Hours and the ‘M43’
It’s funny how only 24 hours can make a huge difference. My last post, although posted a week ago, was shot only 24 hours before these images. In fact only 24 hours before the next few blogs as I went out and had a mega shooting day so I have split it into several blog […]
Bins and Cones (or a load of Bollards!)
“It’s easy for you. You live in one of the best parts of the world for this sort of stuff” He said. ‘He’ being a photographer friend of mine from London. “It’s on your doorstep man. You just get your camera out and click….easy shot” “Really?” I said. He had a point though. I do […]
