New Year

Image
 It's been a few months and lots has happened, firstly Caz is doing very well, the first part of the treatment, the operation, went very well and she has made a great recovery, the next part, radiotherapy starts soon and should not take long then its just tablets for 10 years. I had the misfortune to catch Covid in the run up to Christmas, the main illness was just like a bad hangover, but the lingering effects are taking a toll of me, with a shortness of breath and lack of energy. We did manage to get away just after Christmas to Cornwall, see the picture above. The reason I am blogging today is that I have just done a video for next months calendar page/photo, and had to look at the first blog post, it then got me all nostalgic. I really miss those days, there was a community of like minded souls, and I forgot how much I miss them. It's been over 10 years since I did this on a regular basics, and that group of people have for the most part done what I have done and drifted aw

Home is where the heart is.

 My beautiful wife has a lump and its cancer, it's treatable and we have known for about 6 weeks. During that grey period between knowing there was a lump and having it confirmed we spent a week on Davaar Island in Scotland, a quite and fabulous place to get away from the world.

Calendar shots

Image
 A shot from last week while I was out and about shooting for next years calendar. The calendar is a year long project that starts well before the last one has run its course. This shot was from Froghall, a spot that has no pictures in next years calendar as yet. This shot won't make it into the calendar as it is in the wrong aspect.

Quick catch up

Image
 Well its been a few weeks and I've not updated this. So what have I been up to? First off we have had a great week in the Lake District, great weather and loads of good walking, what more could you want. Next I have had my second jab, all went well with no side effects. On the work front I have started work on the calendar for next year, putting it together not shooting the pictures, that has been going on for over a year. Picture today from a walk down Bradford Dale at the weekend.

Toffee

 Such a shit few days, while I'm not in a position to say why, its my blog and I use this as a vent and a reminder for my feelings. It is mad that one small thing can effect your whole life. On a happier note meet Toffee, a great dog and a joy to photograph.

Robin

 A busy few weeks, the night after I had the jab I was really unwell, and felt below par for a few days after that. Since then I've had photo shoots, tax returns to complete and updates to my on-line store and my stock of cards. All of which has kept me away from the blog and other jobs around the house. This shot was from the weekend in the garden, we had noticed a Robin flitting around as we worked so I grabbed my camera and put the unused spade in a likely position. A few minutes later this little chap showed up in just the right spot.

Jab

 This time last year I was in the Lakes photographing this, there was talk of a lock down but nothing was yet official. Today I'm off for my vaccine jab, what a strange year.
