What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Four years ago it was Seacliff Beach and Auldhame Castle in East Lothian.

Auldhame Castle dates from the 16th century and although now a ruin it is still an impressive structure overlooking the Firth of Forth. Not much is known about Auldhame’s history, it is somewhat overshadowed by its near neighbour Tantallon Castle.

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Five years ago it was the National Trust gardens at Nymans in West Sussex.

The gardens at Nymans are beautiful and well worth visiting at any time of the year…

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Nine years ago it was this mildly customised 1955 Ford Customline ‘Tudor’ Sedan at a Charnwood Cruisers gathering near Loughborough in Leicestershire.

I seem to remember it was fitted with a 302 cu in (4.9l) V8 engine from a Ford Mustang…
