A bit late posting this.. But.. I'm sat here on a Friday morning (the first day of the weekend in Arab lands). My two girls are on the sofa next to me watching the intertubes. All of a sudden, we've got a teenager in…

Summer 2017Since 2002 I've blogged on average over 10 times a month, however, apart from one quick post about Felix's re visit to Paris I haven't blogged a jot. This doesn't equate to the lack of stuff I've done or we've done as a…
Marske-by-the-SeaWhat a great spot Marsk-by-the-Sea beach is. It's an overlooked stretch of beach - the maddening crowds head for the Rock Stars of that area - Whitby, Scarborough and the like (which I'm not knocking, very nice.. but)…
A bunch of photosFilm is ace. You drop it off, you wait a bit and then the joy of opening the results for the first time are way better than seeing the results instantly on a digital back. Mostly. As well as that, the results are often…

M'colleague's husband plays bass trombone in the Hade Edge Brass Band . They were playing today in the Band Stand, Wetherby. We wandered along on the wind of wondering if the 'come along' suggestion would come good. It…
