Today we went to Playhatch, near Reading, to meet up with my parents. They live in Wales about 3 hours drive away so, given our use of Skype, I’m pretty convinced that our son Daniel thinks my parents are characters in a computer game… In any event it was lovely to catch up. As ever …

Autumn flowers
It feels like the garden is about ready to dump its leaves and die back for another year. In the meantime, the rather wonderful purple flowers in one of our borders deserve a post. Olympus E-P3 and Panasonic 20mm lens
The people of St Pauls
Having failed to bring my G5 with me today for some testing with the 7-14 (battery, what battery??) I did at least have my E-M5 with me. I wanted a walk at lunchtime for a bit of exercise and so I decided to head down to St Paul’s cathedral. I couldn’t really be bothered to …

A hot, humid and grey day by the tower
A quick walk around the Tower of London and surrounds at lunchtime
My new eight legged friend
As found hanging outside the kitchen window. Speaks for itself this one. Sleep tight…
Bee Happy
So that’s too corny, but what do you do. Decided to spend some time with the residents of my garden today. Useless models though…
Anyone for Cricket?
So I was lucky enough to be taken to the Cricket at Lords today. I used to be a huge Cricket fan in my youth and followed both Glamorgan and England through highs and lows. As ever, you acquire responsibilities and other occupants of your time and you lose track of things that were once …
