I have been otherwise distracted of late what with work then the Christmas/New Year break complete with inappropriate large format weather systems, so it was a relief to gather 20 latent images back from the lab this week. I had forgotten how long ago November was but I was delighted to get these two images […]
Rat Poison, Water Towers and Dog Turds. It must be Southwold
Mrs O and I took a mini-break to Southwold, that quintessentially English seaside resort, the week before last. Mrs O went for the ‘Ways with Words’ event and I opted to look at the backside of Southwold, the landward side seen only by people walking the dykes and exercising and evidentially emptying their dogs.

Well now, I was recharging spiritual batteries in Southwold yesterday as at least they are batteries that I can recharge unlike the replacements for my recently stolen ones that are proving difficult to obtain.

I used to think of Southwold as being apolitical – a blot on the landscape changed that yesterday
Yesterday the sun shone on a bitterly cold East Anglian landscape despite the Southerly direction of the light breeze. Sunny days in Winter are an automatic draw in our household to romp up the coast to Southwold. I had half a mind as to what to expect as regards grockles but my, I have never […]
