Over that way
Not been past here for ages and everything. For some reason I have not had the urge and have not taken the Bronica out for a while either. It must be rectified soon. Tis over the other side of the island. Over there,, [pointing wildly and most probably inaccurately. but you get the idea].

sewing
And here's Mr Hickman in his studio creating another piece for an upcoming London exhibition. Oh I say, no doubt it will sell for a tidy sum to keep the wolf from the door.
I just love calling in for a natter and potential snappage although at the time of writing Tom has the flue or some such ghastly bug.

and this is Tom
Tom the artist of this parish dancing to his garden to help the growing process. Never know someone with such green fingers. His garden is wonderfully lush and productive despite overlooking the sea.
That's his lovely studio behind his wonderful "Scottish home of the year 2022" house. Visits to the studio can be arranged.
The snap was taken on Foma 200 pushed to 800 in Rodinal [a mistake!! ]

Glasgow
Ooof, wee shall be off island again later in the year for a spot of cycle-race watching this time in Kelvingrove Park, Glasgow. Really looking forward to it and maybe we'll get a visit to the Necropolis while we are briefly there.

Off island soonish
Our pilgrimage to the cycle event that is Retro Velo is happening soon with a stop at various places to see peoples various enroute. Hopefully it won't involve going to place like this which I really hate.
Hoping to see nephew, partner and baybi somewhere in Yorkshire.
Hoping for mild dry weather too.

Back in the day
back in the day when I had the energy and drive to wet-print. A fine example of my ouvre - what ever that was.

Lamblets
From down on t'croft the other day. A selection of small bouncy beasts exploring an unfamiliar place. Not sure what there were doing there to be honest but I snapped them up all the same.
