Mills Dockyard, on the Erewash Canal near Long Eaton… A day of gongoozling and a pub lunch is long overdue!

Another image from the roll I shot in December for Emulsive’s FP4 Party but that didn’t return from the lab in time for post week.

I was changing trains (and stations) in Birmingham, on my way to December’s Beer & Cameras event in Worcester and spotted the Odeon and the iconic Rotunda building mirrored in the reflective surface cladding the Grand Central shopping centre that sits atop New Street railway station.

Another image from the roll I shot in December for Emulsive’s FP4 Party. The lights took an age to change (and I’m far too infirm these days to scamper across a busy road without the benefit of an ‘official’ crossing point) so I thought I’d take a pic or two while I waited…

I shot this in December for Emulsive’s FP4 Party but the scans didn’t return from the lab in time for post week. The skates and toboggan formed part of a festive decoration outside a local gift shop. That particular day the weather was bitterly cold and there was indeed some snow but not nearly enough for these vintage beauties to be needed…
