With Bob and anon

Gaiole

That trip.
What a fab time we had.

Then

When the world was looking at the oil rig that crashed onto the island and then was floated round to the bay nearby where it sat sitting for a few months till they put it on a special boat thing and took to somewhere in the Med to break it up. That time.

Boating

We used to go boating but now the little sailing tub has gone to new owners. This wasn't it but on a hired boat on the Caledonian canal. Lovely

I may be away with the faries

I'm not here though. Somewhere I have to go for work from time to time. Nice eh?

withoot Junction

Lovely place with fine tea-room too. Clapham in North Yorkshire.

I was trying to channel Misonne here.

Down by Law

Loved that film. In fact anything by Jim Jarmusch or Tom Waits is fine by me.  But this snap is of the lovely Island Darkroom Mhairi Law whom I must have snapped up years ago. I glad I did, I rather like it.
And while you are here check out Mhairi's work. Oh, and Katie Macleod-Harris whose work I love too

Walls

Not the ice-cream.

William

Love this snap of William taken a few years back when he took us for a windy stroll near his home. We still see William and Gemma regularly which is just lovely.

Seem to recal using the old Zorki6 for this, must get the old thing [camera that is] out again.

Spainland; another year

This was the same country. on the north coast - lovely part I must say. It was hot. can you tell?

Spainland

Ooooof. the Tour of Spainland race has just been happening - and what a great race it was. We went over a couple of times in previous years to catch up with people we knew who were involved the race as riders or DS.

One day we stood here for a while. It wasn't always as quiet as this. Did you see how one hill was in the tdf ? This lot will be at the World cycling champs in Yorkshire soon - perhaps we will find them!

Three cyclists

This may have been 2011 but they all still ride. Mr Gilbert [right] is on the mainland now riding fixed again. Mr Posse [left] is married and will visit again soonish and Eve has a new bike - not just Mr Posse's retro bike to ride.

two wires

Wires are all over the place here. Part of the island-scapes like bins and falling down houses. As such, I am rather pleased when they appear in the snap. This is out South-Lochs way.

Dreams of escape

Found this delightful scene in a village called Drongan, in Ayrshire.  Victor and his artist wife Gwynneth live near here.

No idea, but I like it

Maybe been looking at Mr Nitz's work for too long.

Drongan

Irvine

Been there so you don't have to go :-)

Mr & Mrs Posse

Posing for me in Irvine outside the Scottish  maritime museum. Lovely day and some fab ice creams afterwards.
