A Visit Home
After a four year gap we finally went back to Glasgow – this time doing the real ‘tourist’ bit within the City itself.
Photo Bombed By Birds – Private
Photo Bombed By Birds
It seems that in so many photos I end up being ‘photo bombed’ by birds. Sometimes you might expect it, but often it is quite a surprise – certainly in this selection I rarely chose to include the birdie!!!
This album will pop to the top of the list each time new images are added.
A Visit to Mottisfont Abbey
We visited the Abbey on 8th August – I must admit that the pic of the horse is an interloper – that was actually taken the following day at Danebury Iron Age Hill Fort.

Some pictures from Lancashire and Yorkshire during our trip to Rochdale
Le Tour de France in Yorkshire
As we were staying just a couple of miles from the route it seemed like a good idea to hike uphill to see the passing of the peloton! I’ve tried to capture a few images that illustrate the atmosphere.
On Endings
Are there any endings that we really want to happen? Even the best endings – the climax of a wonderful piece of music, the last page of a rivetting book – leave us in some way ‘sad’. When we have been enjoying something good, the fact that it has ended will – no matter how much pleasure it has afforded us – inevitably bring with it at least a tinge of disappointment. Indeed it may well be the case that the better the thing is, the more we feel a “loss” at its conclusion.
