Swimming on The Camino
Today was a short 13km hop for us from Guillena. Even that was tiring after an awful nights sleep at Hostal Bar Frances due to some wretched pump switching on and off all night plus a lack of air due it being an internal room. Here in Castilblanco de los Arroyos our luck was in…

Waiting
Here I am in Seville waiting with a delicious espresso for the Amigos office on Calle San Jacinto 25 to open so we can collect our credenciales ( sounds very exotic like travelling in Victorian times). We had an excellent evening in Seville, how great it is to be able to sit outside without hordes…

Since then I have followed his experiments with great interest using his blog as a…

Beeching’s cuts 40 years on.
Just under a year ago I posted up to YouTube some of my Uncle Kens (He married my fathers younger sister, Helen) old cine films which we had converted to video. The film that he took in around 1969 showing the demolition of Nottingham Victoria station, which he shot from his offices, has now had…

Great day in Norfolk
Great day fixing sheds and blackberry picking in Norfolk. I loved this cloudscape with its foreboding of a storm and the lightning scarred Oak tree silhouletted by the dark clouds. Taken with my iPhone as well 🙂
