Sunny Scotland

Well, here I am again after quite a long absence. Inspiration has been lacking, but after spending a few days in Scotland visiting my sister, I have some wonderful photos to share.

Where Did 2021 Go?

| 1st January 2022

The other day my niece’s little girl was telling me they’d been learning about the Iron Age and the Stone Age at school. She then proceeded to tell me that we are now living in the ‘Covid Age’, I guess when you’re 6 yrs old it’s all you’ve ever known. If you’re reading this, well […]

Merry Xmas

(Hopefully) My pre-covid trip was great, until the last night when I fell down the steps and hurt my thumb. […]

| 19th July 2021

Here I Go Again

Just 2 years on from when I tackled my first fireplace I started my second.
