Four years ago it was the seaside town of Sheringham in Norfolk.
I can’t remember where we were staying but this image was definitely taken whilst wandering to or from the pub (probably the Windham Arms… they serve an excellent pint!)

From the (digital) archive… Partial Lunar Eclipse, New Year’s Eve 2009
Partial Lunar Eclipse

For the last post of 2021 I’ve raided my (digital) archive for one of the few pics I’ve ever taken on New Year’s Eve… in this case 12 years ago.
A partial lunar eclipse was certainly of more interest to me than the usual NYE shenanigans that were on offer in 2009! 😁
Anyway… here’s wishing you all a happy and healthy 2022.

A couple of images from what used to be an annual trip to Castleton in the Peak District for an evening of traditional carols on the last Sunday before Christmas.

On St Andrew’s Day… The Kelpies, November 2018
Wishing my friends and readers north of the border a safe and happy St Andrew’s Day 🏴 I’ll be having a wee dram on your behalf tonight…

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Five years ago it was the business premises of H.O. Bowley Ltd, Hosiery & fabrics in Loughborough during a stroll to the (sadly now closed) Tap & Mallet pub on Nottingham Road.
I really should do more of this kind of photography… even if wandering the streets at night can get you a reputation! 😁
