Cape Cornwall

Monday, August 9, 2010

I’ve just returned from a week thoroughly ‘unplugged’ with my family at our favourite campsite – just a couple of miles from the extreme westerly point of mainland England. It’s just a perfect place to unwind and take in the stupendous land and seascapes; not least, the spectacular Cape Cornwall. Time for some experimenting with [...]

The Cloud

Friday, August 28, 2009

I captured this awesome cloud during a short family holiday in Northumberland last week. I like it a lot.
I guessed it was cumulus congestus but checked with Gavin Pretor-Pinney of The Cloud Appreciation Society:
“Yes, indeed. With a crisp summit like that, it had yet to mature into a Cumulonimbus, at which point the top freezes and [...]

Felices Fiestas!

Wednesday, December 24, 2008

Don José

Monday, October 27, 2008

I first met Don José in 1993, which is when I took the photo on the left. And this is his chair. Not just any chair; he made this one himself.
Don José is one hundred years old, or thereabouts. Nobody knows, not even Don José. His birth certificate, along with countless other documents, was destroyed by fire during [...]

Camping out in Cornwall

Sunday, August 17, 2008

I spent much of the last week in Cornwall with the family. We pitched up at the excellent Treen Farm Campsite, where I am indebted to Kevin for recommending I purchase some storm pegs! Busy working week ahead with two trips up to London, beginning tomorrow.
