Earlier this year I celebrated my birthday with a delicious pub lunch and a couple of pints of ale at The George Hotel at Youlgreave in the Peak District and a stroll around All Saints Churchyard with a camera… not everyone’s idea of a good time perhaps, but it suited me perfectly!

I haven’t used my Ondu 6×6 Pocket Pinhole camera in a while but seeing this pic from 2021 has prompted me to load up a roll of Kentmere Pan 100 and give it an airing…

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…
