SIDEWAYS RAIN

in

07.10.20

Stopped off a Vale Rec on the way home to catch the second half against Manzur. No goals but to be able to rock up and watch a game with no restrictions is a thing I should embrace. Set up the tripod using my car boot as a shield to keep dryish.

ONE MONTH LATER

in

05.10.20

Queuing up for an ice cream seems like a distant memory now. This time last month the temperatures were heading into the 30’s. The thought of some nice warm bean jar and fresh bread is more appealing at the moment.

THE PEPPER POT

Inside the navigational marker, known as ‘The Pepper Pot’, or the ice cream cone as me and Jo used to call it. It’s a bit of a squeeze inside the snail shell layout but amazing views out to sea. The nicely pollarded tree helped with this one.

WAITING

in

03.10.20

In my head I’d hoped the rain would die down a little this morning but it just got worse and worse. Just wasn’t meant to be today so I went and bought myself the Lego 1970 Dodge Charger to build.

DARKNESS FALLS

Final day of September and it was pretty wet. I try to save the night shots for the winter when daylight is limited but I had to pull out a wildcard this evening.

THREE PINES

in

26.09.20

I really had to push myself to trek all the way down to the Pine Forest this morning but so glad I did. Tried finding an alternative composition ten minutes around the coast towards St Martins Point but fell back on trying to improve on my last attempt of this group of pine trees.

ALBECQ

24.09.20

Crazy to think that only 11 days ago the temperature was peaking at 30°C, now the arctic winds make it feel like its about to snow. Right now its warmer in the sea than outside but there’s no chance you’ll get me out it this!

PINE

21.09.20

I’d hoped for a little more moisture in the air to get more atmosphere and I had very little enthusiasm today so I’ll take a rain check on this and return when the conditions are better.

THE GUERNSEY

in

17.09.20

Most of us take these cows for granted but they’re actually quite rare on a global scale. I’ve tried milk throughout Europe and the USA and no country comes close to producing a finer milk than Guernsey. As soon as I’ve typed this I’m heading to the fridge to grab a nice ice cold glass of milk.
