The day started earlier than intended, that dreaded hotel sleep interruption: The fire alarm. A loud siren. Silence. A loud siren again. Another pause, before it kicked in a third time. This time when it went silent it stayed off. I checked the time, just past 7am, too early to get dressed and start the […]
In Liverpool!
My decision not to buy breakfast turned out wise. I was possibly up in time, but it would’ve been rushed. Instead I did my usual trawl of current affairs, then headed out just before 10am. Liverpool was still clearing up from the night before, the city centre no different to any others in the UK, […]
To Liverpool!
Travelling isn’t fun. Exploring is, meandering at your own pace, stopping arbitrarily as takes your fancy, discovering new sights and experiences. I was travelling though, a bus, a train, no meandering possible, straight there. On the plus side it was quick, even with the train getting me to Liverpool 15 minutes late. Five minutes after […]

Step off and the solid ground sloshes away, the water not even calf deep but fetid, covered in greenery, teeming with life. Your wet foot wouldn’t be the problem. Escaping the […]
To the port
A break from work, a desire to visit somewhere specific – find out where tomorrow – and a check of the map revealed multiple temptations, all nearby. One of which was wet on a dry day. A tenner to get in, not sure it was worth the cost. I walked three kilometres there, only one […]
RAF Duxford
A man with no legs flew out of Duxford, shot down a German aircraft. I’m not sure Sir Douglas was a nice man but he was certainly iconic. Fancying a day out I nipped down to his old haunting grounds today. Nice airfield, berms and shelters still in place 80 years later, various buildings looking […]
Papua New Guinea
I’ve posted a small selection of photographs from Papua New Guinea (clicky the link to see it).
The Rodeo
All photographs are now processed. I’m slowly putting together some stories. The first is The Rodeo – follow the link for 26 photographs with commentary.
South China Sea
Under 300 photographs to go. Another that I rather like.
